Abstract: The paper examined information and communication technology (ICT) and local government administration COVID-19 and post pandemic era in Delta State, Nigeria. The concept of information communication technology as well as local government administration was critically examined. Benefits of ICT on effective local government administration were also identified to include; increased accessibility, inclusivity and flexibility in government service delivery; improved value for money and quality service provision through lower cost delivery options. This paper also highlights that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can and should be used as a tool for reforming the ills of modern bureaucratic organizations; while the challenges of funding, ICT infrastructure and lack of skills constitute a significant barrier to the utilization of ICT in Delta State, Nigeria. It was concluded that information communication technology has great impact on local government administration as it simplifies the service delivery process while engendering transparency and accountability among local government officials towards its citizens. It also provides ample options for administrative processes to continue smoothly even beyond the four walls of the office setting as well as ensure the elimination of location and distance barriers in the delivery of public services. It was therefore recommended that provision of ICT infrastructure in forms of hardware and software devices be provided to the local government for improved service delivery at the local level. The development of a robust ICT policy in Delta State towards domesticating the Nigeria policy should be paramount.
