To achieve the goal of the study, five research questions were asked, the research design adopted was descriptive survey design. The population for the study was 30 physics lecturers from college of science, department of physics and physics lecturers from college of Agricultural and science education, department of science education, purposive sampling technique was used to select all the 20 physics lecturers which constitute the sample. The research instrument developed for the study was titled: physics lecturers self efficacy and use of Information and communication technology for research activities in JOSTUM Questionnaire (PLSEUICTRAJQ) which has 46 items and was administered to physics Lecturers. Data from the study was analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the remark and chi-square for hypothesis test. The findings showed that: ICT facilities are not available or accessible to physics lecturers in JOSTUM, physics lecturers don't integrate ICT into physics concepts in JOSTUM, physics lecturers in JOSTUM frequently integrate ICT into research activities, physics lecturers have positive perceptions of self efficacy about ICT in carrying out research activities in JOSTUM, physics lecturers in JOSTUM do attend seminars, workshops organized to enlighten them on the modern and new developed ICT facilities to carry out research tasks. The study recommends that: The management of universities should ensure that academic staff offices are provided with ICT facilities and also connected to the internet. The use of ICTs for tasks delivery should be incorporated into lecturers training programs of pre-service and in-service Physics lecturers. Retraining channels such as seminars and conferences with a specific focus on improving the ICT skills of lecturers should be organized to all lecturers irrespective of their age, rank, educational qualification or gender.
