ABSTRACT

The use of computer and its accessories in our daily activities, in spite of its usefulness have caused a lot of hazards to humans and the environment. Green computing aimed at reducing energy consumption and carbon emission, prevent wastage, cut cost and protect the environment. This study investigates educational technology stakeholders‘ awareness and readiness to green computing adoption in North central Nigeria.

The limit for decision rule: An average mean of 2.50 and above was considered as agreed, while an average mean of 2.49 and below was considered disagreed with respect to research questions. Kruskal-wallis test was used to answer hypotheses one, three and five while Mann-Whitney viii Independent test was used to analyse hypotheses two, four and six.
