Around the world, the importance of integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain cannot be underscored, as these technologies are presumed to play a pivotal role not only in revolutionizing traditional educational paradigms but also in enhancing various aspects of the academic experience, and thereby contributing to the overall growth and development of tertiary institutions. It is on this premise that this study explored the efficacy of emerging technologies, delving into considering the transformation of education for tertiary institutions in Nigeria. First, the study provides a brief literature review on emerging educational technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain. Next, it presented Technology Acceptance model (TAM) as theoretical contribution. Thereafter, it demonstrated that fear of job disruption, inadequate technology infrastructures, insufficient allocation of funds, and shortage of trained technology professionals, privacy and security concerns, and resistance to change were identified as some of the challenges of most of the tertiary institutions as a result of the use of different technologies. Furthermore, the prospects for transformation of education for tertiary institutions includes: personalized learning experiences, enhanced teaching, transparency and accountability, collaborative research opportunities, and administrative efficiency and resource management. It was concluded that appropriate utilization of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, and blockchain would offer exciting opportunities for innovative learning experiences in the institutions. It was suggested that stakeholders in education sectors should collaborate with non-governmental organizations and technology developers through continued research and development to ensure the transformation of education propelled by innovative technological advancements.
