Abstract
Knowledge is power, and the means to acquire every subset of greatness lie in its acquisition. This dispensation has made it pertinent for anyone who is aspiring to be great to be informed and updated by events going on around their immediate society and the world at large. Information and communication technology and social media are like vehicles to build an inclusive learning society. ICT is an indispensable tool in knowledge dissemination, as are social media. And to have a continuous and stable knowledge society, both components are very crucial. This study thus focused on the impacts that ICT and social media can have on the possibility of achieving a knowledge society. In order to do this, a simple random selection process was used to pick the study participants. A questionnaire was used to gather the data. Descriptive statistics, such as percentages and frequency counts, were used to analyze the data. 300 staff and students of the Federal Polytechnic Ilaro were chosen to represent the sample for the study. It became evident through the study that the value of ICT and social media in enhancing learning possibilities throughout life is well acknowledged; in fact, there are numerous successful innovations. However, the potential has rarely been systematically tapped to provide inclusive and cohesive learning. A significant aspect in recent years has been the development in the usage of ICT and social media, including Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, and Telegram. It is an illustration of technical innovation that, by virtue of its potential, has sparked enormous and quick social innovation. It enables the exchange of information, human interaction, support for collective action, and social activity.
