ICT in Nigeria is currently administered under the National ICT Policy issued by the Ministry of Communications in June 2012. The policy articulates the nation’s ICT objective as to become a knowledge-based globally competitive society by 2020. To achieve this objective, the policy seeks to integrate information and communication technologies into the socioeconomic development of the country for national transformation. Nigeria’s Vision 2020 is a strategic document that identifies the long-term developmental objectives with the aim of achieving accelerated and sustained economic development. By 2020, Nigeria will have a large, strong, diversified, sustainable and competitive economy that effectively harnesses the talents and energies of its people and responsibly exploits its natural endowments to guarantee a high standard of living and quality of life to its citizens. The intention of Vision 2020 is to achieve two broad objectives:• optimise the potential of human and natural resources to achieve rapid and sustained economic growth; and• translate economic growth into equitable social development.
