This study, “Information and communication management as a predictor for effective administration of secondary schools in Enugu State”, examined and investigated how information communication management is a predictor for effective administration of secondary schools in Enugu State. A correlational research design was used for the study. Three research questions guided the study, and three null hypotheses were posited and tested. The population of the study was made up of 8,588 principals and teachers in government-owned secondary schools in Enugu State. The sample comprised 12 principals and 356 teachers, giving a total of 368 principals and teachers. This sample was drawn from the three educational zones using simple random sampling techniques. Two Research instruments were designed by the researcher, titled Information Communication Management Questionnaire (ICMQ) and Effective Administration Questionnaire (EAQ) and validated by one expert in educational administration and planning and two experts in Measurement and Evaluation, University of Nigeria Nsukka. The test-retest method of reliability of the instrument was used, and the data obtained were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.85 and 0.82 respectively. Research questions 1 and 2 were analyzed using the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and research question 3 was analyzed using mean and standard deviation while simple linear regression was employed in testing the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The results of the data analysis revealed that principals’ information communication management predicted the effective administration of secondary schools to a high extent. There was a significant relationship between principals’ information communication management and effective administration. Based on these findings, it was recommended that principals should be aware of the various lines of communication in order to promote effective administration.
