      abstract = {This study accesses the Teachers’ perception on the availability and accessibility of e-learning facilities in tertiary institutions in North Central Nigeria. The study is a cross-sectional survey design with four research questions. Four research questions guided the study. The population of the study comprised of all the teachers in North Central Nigeria. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire developed by the researcher. The instrument was validated by four experts, two from Department of Science Education, one from Computer Science Department, and one from Library and Information Science Department of ATBU Bauchi. The instrument was pilot tested with Cronbach Alpha coefficient index of 0.896 was found. The instrument was distributed over the internet across the region, in which 458 teachers responded. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency and percentage. Findings revealed that most e-learning facilities such as desktop/laptop computers, CD writers, social media platforms, and video recorders were available across schools, while some tools such as projectors, audio conferencing systems, and video conferencing software were less available. The study concludes that although e-learning resources are gradually being integrated into the educational system, disparities still exist across the schools due to infrastructural and policy-related factors. The study recommends that government and school administrators should strengthen ICT infrastructure, provide consistent electricity supply, and train teachers on the effective use of e-learning tools to promote equitable access and utilization across all schools.},
