FACTORS AFFECTING THE USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AMONG UNIVERSITIES’ ADMINISTRATORS IN NIGERIA

Abstract

Information Communication Technology (ICT) plays an important role in the administration of the University system. This paper addressed the roles ICT plays in the administration of universities in Nigeria as well as the factors that hinder the effective use of ICT in the administration of the universities. These roles range from; financial constraints, administrative constraints, lack of awareness/orientation and so on. Possible suggestions were made which include among other things that there is the need to allocate a percentage of University budget to deployment and there should be orientation and reorientation of staff in the use of ICT facilities.
