Abstract
This study assesses the use of internet services among students of Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State. The increasing importance of the Internet in academic settings prompted this research, which investigates the nature, relevance, challenges, and frequency of internet usage among university students for academic purposes. Through a survey, data was collected from students to evaluate how the Internet influences their academic activities, including research, communication, and information access. The findings indicate that internet services are crucial in enhancing students’ learning experiences and academic performance, although challenges such as slow connectivity, limited access, and lack of digital literacy still persist. This research contributes to understanding how the Internet is utilized in higher education and offers recommendations for improving internet access and usage for academic success.
