Abstract

Electronic communication is still very weak in Nigeria as very few organizations are making adequate use of the facility. The major problems militating against the adoption of sending messages electronically in Nigeria include: - a low-level computing culture; - a poor telecommunications infrastructure; and, - a general lack of awareness. However, there are some positive developments which indicate that Nigeria might soon emerge out of the doldrums and join the global electronic network village. One such key development is the extension of the project for Capacity Building for Electronic Communication in Africa (CABECA) to Nigeria.
