Abstract
This study investigated the perceptions of school administrators on the impact of information and communication technology in curbing secret cult activities in universities in Nigeria. Two research questions were raised to guide the study. A questionnaire titled Impact of ICT in Curbing Cult Activities’ (ICTCCA) was used to collect data which were analyzed, using the percentage method. The respondents were randomly selected from six universities in Nigeria. The result shows that ICT has helped to reduce cultism on campu because cult members can be easily monitored and the information flow between the staff and students has become quite easy and fast. The various campuses now enjoy relative peace as non members now read more about the various groups via the internet and students now become members willingly, unlike in the past when cult groups scramble for new-intakes. So, conflict has remarkably been reduced.
