CHALLENGES OF EGOVERNMENT IMPLEMENTATION IN THE NIGERIAN PUBLIC SERVICE

E-government is one of the tools aimed at reforming the public service to becoming more effective and efficient in service delivery. This is based on the assumption that the efficient application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the daily activities of government will lead to a goal-oriented service delivery. Nevertheless, there are numerous challenges that militate against the effective application of e-government in Nigerian public service. Accordingly, this article is geared towards identifying some of the challenges to e-government implementation in Nigerian public service. No detailed statistical analysis is employed as this conceptual paper mainly based on archived information on important literature of the subject matter and inferences drawn from it. Sequel to its findings, it is then concluded that e-government is the most reliable tool in facilitating and institutionalising efficiency, effectiveness, transparency and accountability in public service.
