Background of the Study
E-governance plays a critical role in the modernization of administrative functions in universities. In Sokoto North Local Government Area, Sokoto State, universities are increasingly relying on ICT infrastructure to streamline operations such as student registration, resource management, and communication with stakeholders (Ahmed & Yusuf, 2023). However, many universities still struggle with optimizing their ICT infrastructure to support e-governance initiatives effectively. Issues such as slow data processing speeds, inadequate server capacities, and unreliable networks hinder the smooth operation of these systems.
The optimization of ICT infrastructure for e-governance in universities will improve service delivery, enhance transparency, and increase the overall efficiency of administrative processes. This study seeks to identify ways to optimize the infrastructure to support seamless e-governance systems and improve university operations in Sokoto North.
