This paper assessed the issues and relevance of electronic devices to the administration and control of tertiary institutions information details. The use of modern electronic devices, with particular attention to the computers which was explored to ascertain the extent documentation enhances organisational effectiveness. Nigeria with its teeming population of about 140 million needs to meet up with the real of the world in the face of ICT revolution. Information and documentation processes are most imperative now that technology has advanced to such a level that impact heavily on competitive business and administration. The paper takes its conceptual framework from structural principles of the Max Webers classical bureaucratisation of organisations which proposed the entrenchment of downward-upward flow of communication with copious documentation. It therefore outlined the role of ICT in the documentation of day-to-day as well as future educational operations in a tertiary setting. Observable challenges to tertiary institutions in Nigeria include that most of them face a lot of managerial crisis due absence and, or inadequacy of ICT tools; knowledge and complexities. The paper therefore proffered possible solutions to the way forward.
