Keywords:
ICT, Public universities, Challenges, ICT literacy, ICT facilities
Abstract
Information communication technologies are very important to the sustainable development of higher institutions especially the university education. In public universities in Nigeria it has been observed by researchers that that information communication technologies have not been fully integrated in the various programme of the public universities especially the teaching, researching and community service programme. The paper discusses the challenges militating against effective usage of information communication technologies for the implementation of the cardinal programme of public universities in Nigeria. Qualitative and qualitative data were used in the paper. The paper identified inadequate funding of ICT, shortage of ICT facilities, high cost of ICT, unstable internet service, poor implementation of ICT policies, unstable electricity, poor ICT literacy among academic, non-academic and students and poor maintenance culture among Universities Staff as challenges militating against effective usage of information communication technologies for the implementation of the cardinal programme of public universities in Nigeria. The paper recommended among other things that the government should increase the funding of public universities in Nigeria to enable them develop the ICT facilities in the institutions across the country.
