A descriptive survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study consist of 7885 pre-service teachers of Federal Universities in the North-Eastern Nigeria. The sample size is 381 pre-service teachers selected across the Federal Universities in North-Eastern Nigeria using a random sampling technique. Three research questions and three hypotheses were generated and answered in the study. The instrument for data collection in this study was ICT Attitude, Access and Competency (ICT-AAC). The instrument was validated by four (4) experts who checked the suitability and clarity of these items. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient was computed for the instrument (ICT-AAC) which yielded an internal consistency reliability index of 0.82, 0.88 and 0.73 for cluster A, B, and C respectively, with an overall reliability index of 0.89. The research questions were answered using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation coefficient using SPSS version 25. Findings of the study showed that most of the pre-service teachers have positive attitude towards ICT integration in teaching. It was also found that pre-service teachers have no Access to most of the ICT facilities. It was further confirmed that the pre-service teachers were Competent in manipulating ICT facilities. The study further indicated a significant relationship between pre-service teachers’ Attitude, Accessibility and ICT Competency. Finally, a number of challenges that might hinder the integration of ICT facilities in teaching were found and recommendations proffered, which include; improvement of pre-service teachers’ Access to ICT facilities such as projector, smart/interactive white boards and the software required for the effective use of the boards. This should be aimed at increasing their Competency of the newly acquired or available facilities and how to integrate them in teaching. 2026 01 08 4423 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ 10.54216/IJAIET.050201 https://americaspg.com/journal/27/article/4423 https://americaspg.com/storage/articles/manuscripts/01KVJYJ3FRJTN93V7CWZH0648J.pdf
