Mean ratings and standard deviations were used to analyze the data in respect of the research questions while ANOVA was used in testing the null hypotheses. The findings revealed that the extent of implementation of the Federal Ministry of Education four year strategic plan on improving ICT instructional facilities in colleges of education in Anambra State is low. Furthermore, it was also revealed that business educators in the colleges of education did not differ in their opinion on the extent of implementation of the Federal Ministry of Education four year strategic plan on improving ICT instructional facilities in colleges of education in Anambra State. Based on these findings, it was recommended among others, that a special panel of enquiry should be instituted by the federal government should ascertain the level of funds released and how they have been disbursed by the institutions in charge of the implementation of the strategic plan on ICT instructional facilities for teacher education institutions. It was also recommended that the Federal Government of Nigeria through the Ministry of Education should give serious financial commitment to the implementation of the strategic plan on improving ICT instructional facilities in the teacher training institutions especially the colleges of education.
