The study concluded that social networking sites are responsible for students’ poor academic performance in business education; Lecturers can influence business students attitude towards social networking; There are ways to curb business education students addiction towards social networking.
The study suggested that; the usage of devices during lectures should be limited and/or prevented because of negative impacts on students’ concentration in the lecture hall; it was further recommended that while mobile phones have data limit, there should also be a policy regulating the use of social media and educating people on its profitable use. This is because one cannot totally stop the usage of social media applications by students but with the right education and strategy, its use can be productive and the performance of students can be improved if they are duly informed.
