Integrating the utilization of ICT in teaching and learning is very important, for lecturers to improve on the technological and pedagogical knowledge to teaching ICT in Education. ICT utilization enhances student educational conception. This study identified some of the literature that discusses on the perceived barriers to ICT integration and utilization in education. The findings showed that lecturers had a strong desire to adopt the utilization of ICT in classroom; but encountered barriers such as lack of confidence, competence, and lack of access to technical assistance on new emerging ICT technology. Bridging these identified barriers make it pertinent for institutions to provide professional development training as well as appointing a well-trained technical assistance for effective coordination. However, providing all the required ICT support enhances the workability of excellent ICT integration and utilization.
