The study adopted correlation research design. The sample of the study was made up of 12 out of 38 private senior secondary schools in AMAC, which was 32% of the population. A total number of 240 out of 613 teachers were randomly selected from the sampled schools. Simple random sampling technique was adopted for the study. The content validity of the instrument was used in this study. Furthermore, Computer Technology Resources, and Teaching and Learning Questionnaire (CTRTLQ) was pilot tested and reliability coefficient of .78 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha. frequency counts, percentage, mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient was used to test hypothesis. The study revealed that there was a significant relationship between teachers' computer technology resources utilization, and teaching and learning in private senior secondary schools in AMAC. This led the researcher to conclude that the use of computer technology resources facilitated teaching and learning in private senior secondary schools in AMAC. It was recommended that the management of private senior secondary schools should encourage the use of computer technology resources by providing enough of these resources, and ensure that they are used properly by the teachers to enhance teaching and learning.
