The study was carried out to determine competency improvement needs of technology teachers in the implementation of basic technology in Kogi State. The study used cross-sectional survey design and simple random sampling was used to select the sample. Fifty six junior secondary schools with a total population of 376 and a sample size of 112 Basic Technology teachers with a total population of 445 were sampled for the study. Questionnaire was the instrument used for data collection in the study. Five research questions and two research hypotheses were answered and tested respectively. T-test and ANOVA tools were used for the statistical analysis. The result shows that ICTs are not available for delivery of instructions, thereby leading to irregular utilization for instructional process or self development. The finding shows most basic technology teachers are not competent in ICT utilization but are confident that it has great benefits despite several constraints encountered in its utilization. The result also shows no significant difference between public and private schools and no significant difference among the three senatorial districts in the utilization of ICT for instructional delivery in Kogi State. It is recommended that; teachers should endeavour to develop skills in the utilization of ICT for effective delivery of instruction. Parents should support the utilization of ICT resources in instructional delivery in their schools. Schools and government should make funds available and sponsor Basic Technology teachers‟ attendance at conferences, seminars and workshops on utilization of ICT for effective integration of ICT.
