At present, it is clear evidence that many students are conversant with digital devices in their learning activities.
However, some teachers are facing problems of using digital devices in their teaching activities. For that reason, applying
computer/ICT devices could assist instructors in improving their job performance which in turn, enhances students’
learning achievement. The purpose of the study was to investigate the influence of teachers’ computer literacy on their
job performance. The specific objectives were: to determine the level of teachers’ computer literacy; to determine the
level of teachers’ job performance; to examine the relationship between teachers’ computer literacy and their job
performance; and to determine the impact of computer literacy on teachers’ performance. This study employed
quantitative method survey design using questionnaires as instruments. Systematic random sampling technique was used
in this study. A total of 185 teachers from senior secondary schools in Danko-Wasagu Local Government Area were
involved as respondents. Data was analyzed using percentage distribution, mean value, correlation Pearson product
moment, and multiple regression method. Findings showed that the level of teachers’ job performance is high; the level
of teachers’ computer literacy is high; there exist a relationship between teachers’ computer literacy and their job
