The instrument used IG (r=0.92), BCL (r=0.87) and UMR (r=0.91) and. Quantitative data were analysed using Mean, Standard deviation, Pearson product moment correlation and Multiple regression at 0.05 level of significance. The result shows that Interest in Government (=2.63) was high against the threshold of 2.5. BCL (=1.55) was average and the use of Multimedia Resource was low (0.45), Basic Computer Literacy (r= 0.459, p < .05) and Use of Multimedia Resources (r = .107, p < .05) have no relationship with students' interest in Government. Basic Computer Literacy, Use of Multimedia Resources influenced students' interest in government in Public Secondary Schools.
