The services provided by internet have had a major impact in the university context, in organization and in teaching and learning methods. The Internet has made computers across the globe interconnected. This new form of information resources have as their greatest advantage, a virtually unlimited wealth of information resources which is widely readily available and accessible to hundreds of millions of people simultaneously in many parts of the world (Kumar & Kaur 2006). In addition, Amaoge and Igwebuike (2016) believe that the internet has increasingly become an invariable asset in education in terms of learning, teaching and research. The use of internet in the tertiary institutions is an exciting prospect especially when the rugged terrain is the significant impediment to obtain information for the

vast majority of people. Internet can broadly be defined as worldwide network of computers communicating via an agreed upon protocol (rules for exchange of information). It provides access to the most diversified source of information hosted by individuals and various organisation worlds wide on a vast network of servers (Ogungbeni, et al, 2016). Various studies have found that Internet use can have positive benefits on educational achievement (Chen & Fu, 2009).

Description of data

(Describing chart[s] and/or graph[s]) 1. The impact of new technological changes is also bringing some positive aspects in the educational sector as well, by adopting new and innovative ways of teaching, both the students and faculty are able to enhance their educational skills. The use of credible internet resources is of greater importance for academic study, especially in high class courses which require an academic review of literature (Sahin et al., 2010). Internet use for educational purpose is found by Kim (2011) to be the heart of adolescent academic achievement. 2. Students’ demographic variables are believed to have an influence

performance. Demographic analysis revealed that males had higher frequency of internet use in general than females

(Akende

and

2017).

Subsequent

comparative analysis revealed that male college students spend more time on the internet compared to female college students (Ellore et al., 2014). Rabiu et al. Analysis of data

1. According to Emeka and Nyeche (2016) conducted a research on Internet Usage on the Academic Performance of Undergraduates Students at University of Abuja, Nigeria. Results gotten from the research shows that 111(55%) of respondents use the internet every day, 31(15%) use internet once a week, 9(5%) use the internet once in two weeks, 26(13%) use the internet once in a month, 20(10%) use the internet occasionally while 3(2%) do not use the internet. The findings show that majority of students use the internet every day. The study revealed

that Paying for online services was a problem however; the study shows that Internet is one of the beneficial tools in this era of IT not only for business but for academic point of view and enhances the skill and capability of students which assist them in studies and professional life. 2. In other studies by Ogedebe (2012), the analysis showed that most of the respondents were computer literate, since 65% of the respondents agreed that they are computer literate, while 29% were not, 6% of the respondents neglected the question. The investigation also shows that 79% of the respondents accepted that their academic performance actually improved by using the internet, as 13% thought otherwise. 3. In addition, Sahin, Balta and Ercan (2010) in their study on the use of internet resources by university students during their course projects elicitation shows that 57% of the participants were male and 43% were female. The study also shows the students' views about the reliability of the sources obtained from the Internet. It shows that 70% of students compared information obtained through the Internet with other information resources. Besides, the preferred rate of reliable sites is about 41%. Many of students take care that these resources are up-to-date, for educational purposes, and free from bias.

Conclusion

Conclusion The number of hours spent on the internet will affect the students' social life unless the internet is used for learning / academic purposes. Graphic representation of internet usage and its impact

on students' social life shows that internet use is very high. The Internet has opened the door to a new way of learning. The wealth of information available therein exceeds that of any physical library. Of the various uses the internet can be put to, academic purpose occupies the highest enviable position as far as students are concerned. This is seen in the fact that there is a relationship between internet access and usage for academic motive and students’ academic performance. Besides, access to internet sources is promoting academic performance among students since those with access showed more improvement in academic

performance than those without access. Students should utilize the internet to improve their academic performance by restricting or limiting themselves to academic purposes since non-academic motives might have adverse impact in their academic achievement. Beside, students should be properly educated on how to make fruitful use of the internet. This suggests that students with access to internet facilities have been using them in ways that will promote their academic achievement.
