ABSTRACT
The study investigated the “Impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on the Management of Universities in Nigeria”. Nine objectives were postulated in line with research questions and hypotheses. The variables investigated in the objectives include communication, decision-making, planning, staff development, maintenance of discipline, provision of welfare and health services, maintenance of records, interpersonal relationship and provision of games/recreational services. The research design employed in this study was descriptive survey design. The population for the study comprised 138 universities as at the time of the study. These universities include 40 Federal, 40 State and 58 Private universities. These 138 universities were further grouped into six geo-political zones of Nigeria. A stratified sampling technique was adopted for this study in order to give equal chance to all sample representatives and be able to cover all the universities across the six geo-political zones. Consequently, one university was randomly selected from each of the three groups of universities in each geo-political zone, making a total of 18 selected universities. A purposive sampling was used to share 50 copies of questionnaire in each of the 18 universities, which gave a total of 900 as sample size. The data obtained were analyzed using percentages, descriptive statistics and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistics. Results showed that Information Communication Technology (ICT) enhanced better information dissemination in the Universities, there were inadequate provision of welfare and health services such as lecture room, clinics and accommodation for both staff and students in the Universities and there were inadequate computer centres where the youth, within the neibouring community, can learn in the Universities. Based on the findings, it was concluded that ICT has both positive and negative impacts on the management of universities in Nigeria and that availability of ICT has positive impact on communication in universities in Nigeria. It was recommended among others that university authorities should be more proactive in the provision of modern or up-to date information and communication systems in their universities. Furthermore, in order to enhance discipline in the universities ICT should be used for payment of all fees and levies and be used in conducting computer based tests and examinations
