EFFECT OF DIGITAL GOVERNANCE ON SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
Abstract
This study examined the effect of Digital Governance on Sustainable Economic Development in Nigeria. The specific objectives are to; examine the effect of Digital infrastructure on Sustainable Economic Development in Nigeria, and evaluate the effect of Cybersecurity on Sustainable Economic Development in Nigeria. A survey research design was used for the study where a primary source of data was adopted for the study. A structured questionnaire designed with a five-point Likert scale design was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics, which comprise basic percentages, the mean, and the standard deviation of the measurement items, were the statistical tools employed for the data analysis. To answer the hypothesis as stated in this study, we continued with chi-square analysis. The study revealed that Digital Infrastructure has a significant positive effect on Sustainable Economic Development with a probability value of 0.000 (χ2 = 13.71, p = 0.001), also Cybersecurity has a significant positive effect on Sustainable Economic Development a probability value of 0.000 (χ2=42.81; P-value=0.000) in Nigeria. The study concluded that Digital Governance has a significant positive effect on Sustainable Economic Development in Nigeria. The study recommended among others an increase in investment in broadband infrastructure to ensure widespread and affordable internet access, particularly in rural and underserved areas. This will facilitate greater participation in the digital economy and bridge the digital divide
