Abstract

Nigeria consists of distinct communities, Wiki/Nigeria (2012). Nigeria’s Public Service, scholars assert, is a comprehensive organ that houses bureaucracy of the nation, Adamolekun, et al (2012). Kwara and Osun States situate in two different geo-political zones of the federation. Among identified militants against effective delivery of dividend of democracy, according to Myeong et al (2010), are

barriers to information sharing, which e-governance is endeavoring to break. The research found out how far, Nigeria is e-governance compliant. We applied Questionnaires, interviews, as modes of asking the correct questions. Sackett et al, (2007). Hermeneutic mode of Data Analysis (Renning 2015) was used in analyzing data collected. Respondents’ tenures on the job are reliable. Manual office machines are rapidly giving way for computers, but not yet up to the befitting standard. Real-time information sharing, which we found to be very low level is strongly advocated, but the fear is low-level of computer literacy of the populace; of which solution could be a subject of another research.
