BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The use of information and communications technology (ICT) to improve and/or assist learning in tertiary education is referred to as e-learning. While maintaining a dominating interest in increasingly advanced applications, e-learning refers to both entirely online provision and campus-based or other distance-based provision enhanced in some manner by ICT (Eynon, 2005). The supplemental model includes activities ranging from the most basic usage of ICT (e.g., use of PCs for assignment word processing) to more sophisticated adoption (e.g., specialist disciplinary software, handheld devices, learning management systems, adaptive hypermedia, artificial intelligence devices, simulations, etc.).
E-learning has emerged as a new essence and fundamental concept in library services as well as the educational sector, with the goal of serving as a knowledge-based development platform for today's society. So, what exactly is e-learning? According to Farmer (2004), e-learning is all about computer-based learning. In today's environment, studying using a computer simply means acquiring information online via the internet or offline via CD-ROM, for example. To put it another way, it is the use of network technology to generate, promote, deliver, and assist learning at any time and from any location.
It has been discovered that students at higher education institutions who participated in e-learning outperformed those who took face-to-face courses. Folley (2010) discovered that students who participate in online or e-learning obtain higher grades than those who study traditional methods. As a result of this discovery, e-learning is rapidly gaining popularity, and many higher education institutions are implementing virtual learning systems. E-learning is extensively employed at numerous colleges throughout the world, including Covenant University. Some universities' e-learning adds little value to their teaching and learning activities, and they may not evaluate the influence of e-learning on student academic achievement. There hasn't been a lot of study done on the association between e-learning use and student academic achievement. Ge, Hui, and Tingting (2010).

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
With the development of e-learning technologies, academics are faced with the issue of obtaining and utilizing IT skills for teaching purposes. According to several notable experts, the internet is an ideal instrument for learning since it provides learners with flexibility and convenience while also providing limitless chances for innovative instruction (Eynon, 2005). The use of new multimedia technologies and the Internet in learning is viewed as a method of improving accessibility, efficiency, and quality of learning by allowing access to resources and services, as well as distant exchanges and cooperation. E-learning has evolved into a new paradigm and philosophy in education, with the goal of serving as a knowledge-based growth platform for today's society. According to Farmer (2004), it is clear that the notion of e-learning is seen as extremely appealing as a new learning paradigm whose impact on the development of education in developing nations, particularly Nigeria, would be favorable. Despite the fact that little effort is put into its implementation, current research on e-learning in Nigeria demonstrates that putting e-learning on the educational agenda in Nigeria still faces a number of problems (Folley, 2010).
1.3 objectives of the study
The primary aim of this study is to evaluate e-learning and its impact on students' academic performance in tertiary institutions. Specifically, the study will

- Determine whether e-learning has a significant impact on students’ academic performance.
- Identify the constraints of e-learning in tertiary institutions.
1.4 RESEARCH QUESTIONS
The study will be guided by the following questions;
- What are the benefits of e-learning to students in tertiary institutions?
- Does e-learning contribute significantly to students’ academic performance?
- What are the constrains encountered by students in user of e-learning in tertiary institutions?
