This paper seeks to discuss on the use of ICT in distance-learning and the strategies for improvement in Nigeria. ICT is used to refer to technological tools that are used to create, store, retrieve and disseminate information globally. Its benefit to diverse aspects of developments especially in technology are enormous ranging from offering flexibility in learning to making teaching and learning instant, without classroom walls. Distance learning is the use of ICT in teaching and learning without the classroom walls, at the learner’s time and location. The effective use of ICT in distance education could be hindered by interrupted unreliable electric power supply and unsteady net work service. Some suggested strategies that could be adopted to improve upon successes made so far were the use of expertise approach in developing distance learning course content and putting in place good quality control measures to check the materials, content and human resources used in distance learning programmes.
