Abstract
The 21st century, no doubt, witnessed a rapid transformation generally and particularly in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This has resulted in the emancipation of globalization in the entire world. The primitive ways of disseminating Information and Communication attitudes have been enhanced to a greater extent. Acquiring information has gone electronic whereby one can reach every part of the world to source information from his local point. Teachers and books are no longer the only sources of information. Educational accessibility is now vast the most students are seemingly more informed than their teachers. Currently, education or learnedness has no boundary and as such no apex, all for in the impact of ICT. The present study is meant to deal with the concept of information and communication Technologies (ITC) and sought to examine the important role of it in promotion of religious education. It will also analyze the advantages and disadvantages of ICT and provide some suggestive measures to make better use of ICT for the promotion of Religious Education (RE).
