Two specific purposes, two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. Survey design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was 889 which comprised of 49 lecturers and 840 students. The entire population of lecturers and a sample of 262 students drawn out of 840 population of students using Taro Yamane formula constituted a sample size of 311 which was studied. A 25-item structured questionnaire on a 4 point Likert scale was used to elicit data for the study. The questionnaire was validated by two experts. Cronbach alpha reliability method was used to test the reliability of the instrument and it yielded a coefficient of 0.89 signifying that the instrument was reliable. The instrument was administered by the researchers and two research assistants, 98% of the questionnaire was properly completed and was used for the analysis. The weighted mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions. Independent t-test statistics was used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed amongst others that business educators are very competent in teaching the two identified components of the business education courses namely, office application and office technology courses. There was significant difference between the mean responses of lecturers and students on the business educators’ competency level in teaching office application courses in some selected Polytechnics in Northeast Nigeria. It was recommended amongst others that business educators should encourage students of OTM to be creative and innovative so that they will not be idle after graduation because they are trained for paid jobs and for self-reliance. The spirit of self-reliance should be inculcated into them by teaching them to make frequent use of the machines in the model office and computer laboratory because they are expected to make use of similar machines in their work place.
