Observation Checklist on Available ICT Facilities for Teaching and learning Economics and a structured questionnaire were used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was ascertained using Cronbach Alpha and an overall reliability coefficient of .97 was ascertained. Frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions while independent sampled t-test was used to test null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significant. The Findings of this study showed that Lecturers and students agreed that expository/transmission method, inquiry method, simulation method, problem solving method and discussion method are use in teaching and learning of Economics at colleges of education. recommendation and suggestion for further studies were made.
