The study made use of a well- structured questionnaire to solicit information from the repliers. Data collected were subordinated to the quantitative fashion of retrogression analysis. The results revealed that technological advancement isn’t a significant determinant of academic performance( p>.05); adaptability( p<.05) and academic stress( p<.05) are the psychosocial issues that significantly determined academic performance and incipiently, the common influence of academic performance and psychosocial issues significantly determined academic performance( p<.05). Grounded on this, the study suggests amongst others that, scholars should duly use technological installations similar as internet, laptop,e-notebook, ipad and the suchlike in their academics. These installations should be used to reference for information pertaining to their courses, assignments, tests, term- papers, examinations and systems. This will widen the knowledge borders of the scholars, raises their position of exposure and enlightenment, which will further ameliorate their academic performance.
