The findings indicated that the lecturers use of e-learning facilities like digital library, Computer and even CD-ROM and slides have high impact on the performance of the students and also makes work to be easy on the part of the lecturers. On the other hand, it was found that lack of use of e-learning packages lowers the performance of the students to greater extent. Based on the findings, the researcher recommended that government should encourage lecturers to continue to use e-learning facilities, e -learning hardware and e-learning courseware through the award of honors to the best users of e-learning resources among lectures.  Again, E-books which are high-tech reading materials should be adequately provided and the lecturers should be exposed or trained on the techniques of using e- books.
