This study is to ascertain the attitudinal disposition of the beneficiaries (students) to ensure applicable success rate in the developing Nation like Nigeria. The descriptive survey method was used for the study, and a cross-sectional online survey was employed to elicit information from the respondents. The target population of the study includes all students in Admiralty University of Nigeria and Delta state Polytechnic, Ogwashi-uku. A sample size of 385 (95% confidence level, p= 0.5) was used. Data were collected from students using a well-designed online questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 20.The study established that Students have a positive attitude towards online management systems. However it was also discovered that students in Delta state polytechnic Ogwashi-uku (DSPG) had a more positive attitude towards online learning management systems more than those in Admiralty university of Nigeria (ADUN). However, the study discovered that the rating of Admiralty university of Nigeria online learning management system (SOAP) is higher than DSLMS which is the online learning management system used in Delta state polytechnic, Ogwahsi-uku. Findings showed that lack of knowledge financial constraints, high cost of internet subscription and lack of interest on the part of students were identified as factors that affect students’ attitudes towards online learning management systems. The study recommends that regular training of students and lecturers on how to use online learning systems be organized. The schools’ management should offer free internet services to students especially students in Delta state Polytechnic, Ogwashi-uku.
