The world is stirring faster into technological innovations. One can say teaching and learning to our everchanging from traditional/conventional classroom situations to electronic classrooms. There are many things one can see and say this classroom is an electronic classroom; the use of web 2.0 tools, video conferencing, google classroom, the use of social networks to impart knowledge and skills, and the use of an interactive whiteboard. This research on “appraising the availability, accessibility, and efficacy of Interactive Whiteboard for instruction amongst lecturers in public tertiary institutions in Sokoto State, Nigeria”, was led by three objectives and three research questions. The study used a descriptive cross-sectional survey research design. The researchers used the quantitative method for data collection. The total population of the study is 2,478. A Multistage (called clustering) sampling technique was employed to select the sample from the public tertiary institutions in Sokoto State. The total sample that was chosen is 136. The instrument used for data collection is adapted. The frequency and percentage were employed to analyze the respondents’ demographic information. To answer research questions one, two, and three descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages) were used. The summary of the major findings is; there is no availability of IWB in the classrooms of public tertiary institutions in Sokoto State, Nigeria, the lecturers of public tertiary institutions in Sokoto State, Nigeria did not have access to IWB for teaching and learning, and the lecturers’ perception of the IWB level of efficacy in public tertiary institutions in Sokoto State, Nigeria for teaching and learning is poor.
