Abstract: This study examined the availability and utilisation of Management Information System (MIS) facilities in the South-West Nigerian Universities. A descriptive survey design was used in the study. Data were collected from 600 subjects consisting of 400 academic staff holding administrative position and 200 senior administrative staff heading units. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts, percentages, standard deviation and t-test statistics. The three hypotheses generated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study revealed that most of the MIS facilities were available except for few, like fax and telex. Federal and State universities significantly differ in terms of availability and the utilisation of computer-based and non computer-based MIS facilities in favour of the Federal universities. It was recommended that the government and the university administrators should provide adequate MIS facilities in each university particularly fax and telex. State universities should be better funded and equipped with more MIS facilities while more emphasis should be placed on the utilisation of computer-based MIS facilities by the universities to enhance better management information systems.
