This study examined the management of technological innovation as a means of improving staff performance in universities in Rivers State, Nigeria. A descriptive research design was employed. The technological innovations considered in relation to teaching and learning included computer and internet facilities, as well as health and safety provisions. The study population comprised 5,059 university staff drawn from Rivers State University, Nkpolu Oroworukwo, and Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Rumuolumeni. Using a stratified random sampling technique, 381 staff members were selected, comprising 191 respondents from Rivers State University and 190 from Ignatius Ajuru University of Education. The research instrument was subjected to face and content validation by two experts in Measurement and Evaluation. Its reliability was established using Cronbach’s alpha in SPSS version 23, which produced a reliability coefficient of .844, exceeding the .71 threshold and indicating satisfactory reliability. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions, while the hypotheses were tested using the t-test at the 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that universities in Rivers State had no substantial technological innovations in the provision of computer and internet facilities for teaching and learning. The study concluded that effective management of technological innovation is essential for enhancing staff performance in universities. It therefore recommended that university management provide adequate technological facilities to support innovative teaching practices and organize continuous training and retraining programmes to equip teaching staff with the competencies required to effectively utilize electronic innovations in the university environment.
