Abstract:
E-government is one of the key mechanisms set out to reform the public sector in Nigeria and the world at large. Adoption of e-government in Nigeria came with mixed feelings and suspicion. Some were of the opinion that the majority of Nigerians are not computer literate, while others expressed that consistency would solve most of the challenges pointed out. However, the rate at which information and communication technology is taking over every aspect of government activities is a clear indication that e-government has come to stay. On their part, the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board embraced e-government in toto. Despite the numerous good sides of electronic government, there are some challenges confronting the implementation of e-government by JAMB. This study adopted the content analysis method while data were collected from journals, government publications, and the official JAMB website. A review of the literature found that JAMB's adoption of electronic government has made it easier for them to run examinations with a computer-based-test method and to quickly release results over the internet.
