This study examined Effective Administrative Communication through Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua, Nigeria. It has been observed that, besides the global ranking of the United Nations E-Government survey for 2022, which placed Nigeria in the 144th position of 193 countries, practically, there is not much progress beyond the theoretical because the diffusion and adoption of ICT in tertiary institutions at all levels has been dismal. To achieve the objectives of this study, the survey research method was adopted and data were obtained from both primary and secondary sources for the study. The finding revealed that e-communication had a significant impact on administrative communication. Based on the above finding, it was recommended amongst others that the management of the institution should embark on a vigorous staff and student training on ICT if the full benefits of this facility are to be achieved.
