This study assessed the University of Nigeria postgraduate students ICT and research skills. The study employed analytical descriptive research design and was conducted at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN) with a sample of 114 students. Data were collected using Modern ICT skills and Research Questionnaire (MISRQ).  A reliability index of .84 was estimated using Cronbach- alpha. Findings revealed that male students have better  ICT and research skills than their female counterparts. From the results, Ph.D. students had better research skills than M.Ed. students. Findings also showed that students do not possess skills in use of e-resources and services, computer skills and software use. It is therefore recommended that ICT facilities needed to improve both students and lecturers should be put in place to ensure better output.
