Abstract
There is disparity in access to Information and Communication Technologies between male and female especially in developing countries. This study did a gender analysis of access and use of ICTs in Ekiti state, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 178 respondents. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test at α0.05. Radio (198.7), mobile phones (186.4) and television (182.9) were the mostly accessed ICT tools. More (30.7%) male had appreciable access to ICTs than (25.6%) female. Also, more (25.6%) male use ICTs appreciably than (23.9%) female and the pattern of ICT preferences (radio, television, and mobile phone) were the same among them. More (35.8%) female had substantial constraints to ICTs than (22.7%) male, and significantly different (t=-3.744) in constraints to ICTs access and use.
