The study examined the use of cloud collaborative tools for effective social and professional activities by lecturers in universities in Lagos State and as well as contribution to knowledge. Correlational survey research design was adopted using two two-stage sampling techniques to select 301 lecturers out of 1,372 from 4 Universities in Lagos State. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. Findings revealed high utilization of cloud collaborative tools by lecturers in selected universities in Lagos State (xത= 3.17). The tools used are WhatsApp (97.9%), Google Workspace (93.8%), Zoom (86.9%), Telegram (78.4%), and Yahoo Mail (76.6%). The lecturers use these tools for social and professional activities (xത= 3.38) as well as for knowledge and professional development (xത= 3.37). Findings identified message overload and high expectations of availability as challenges to the use of these tools at (xത= 3.05) and (xത= 2.98), respectively. It was recommended that universities capitalize on the high utilization of cloud collaborative tools by authorizing virtual lectures for large classes and creating a feedback mechanism for lecturers to share their experiences and suggest improvements related to the use of these tools
