institutions. Questionnaire was used to collect relevant information from the respondents on the utilization
of e-learning facilities, while a checklist was designed to collect student’s results for three connective years
(2018-2020). The questionnaire was validated by three experts from and reliability co-efficient of 0.73 was
obtained through Pearson product -moment correlation statistics. The four research questions raised were
answered using descriptive statistics of percentages, Mean and Standard Deviation while Pearson product
moment correlation statistics was used to analyze the four hypotheses generated at 0.05 level of
significance. The findings of this paper among others revealed that e-learning facilities were highly utilized
by the staff and moderately utilized by the students of distance education in Kwara State. Irregular power
supply and fluctuation of network service impact negatively on utilization of e-learning facilities. A
