Several assessment studies on penetration and adoption of computer and the internet have shown that these tools are beginning to change the way citizens interact with one another and also with their governments and vice-versa [1]. An assessment from two states in the South Western part of Nigeria regarding the awareness, use and sustainability of e-Governance in Nigeria was carried out. The perspectives of the government staff as well as other users (non-government staff) were assessed. It was found that 68% of both government employees (GE) and non-government employees (NGEs) are aware of e-Governance in the states, and the governments have achieved this high rate of awareness by means of mass media (30%). Computer literacy amongst employees is put at 19 users out of every 20, and 52% of those that are computer literate have over 3yrs experience in using the computer. Also, 76.6% are reported to have access to the Internet and only 31.3% of those that have access to the Internet have access points in their offices. Proficiency about the use of e-Governance resources was also tested, it was found that about 50% of the users are proficient and about 35% of them use the Internet on a daily basis. Challenges about the e-Governance resource were also discussed and appropriate policy directions are advanced for a better use and its sustainability. |
