    E-Government and Bureaucratic Corruption in Nigeria: Successes and Challenges
    (.Jurnal Studi Pemerintahan (Journal of Government & Politics),, 2020) Abdulkareem Abdulrazaq K.; Ajadi Abdulrazaq I.; Abdulkareem Zulfah J.
    This paper explored the successes and challenges of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) adoption in the combat against bureaucratic corruption in the Nigerian public service. This study adopted a qualitative approach via in-depth interviews for data collection and thematic analysis. Interviews were conducted within purposively sampled public officials with over ten years of experience in the public service. Two major themes were identified; successes and challenges encountered in the fight against bureaucratic corruption with the use of ICT. It is discovered in this paper that ICT has played a significant role in the combat against bureaucratic corruption by increasing the revenue of the government through the Integrated Personnel Payroll Information System (IPPIS) and Treasury Single Account (TSA) systems. However, challenges faced in this regard can be attributed to the infrastructural gap, shortage of ICT skilled personnel and resistance by the public officials. It is therefore recommended that for the little success to be sustainable, those challenges must be mitigated.

    Factors influencing the adoption of electronic identity in Nigeria
    (The eJournal of eDemocracy and Open Government (JeDEM), 2024) Abdulkareem Abdulrazaq K.; Oladimeji Kazeem A.; Abdulkareem Zulfah J; Ajadi Abdulrazaq I.
    Despite its benefits, adopting electronic identification in Nigeria has been slow. This study aims to identify the factors influencing electronic identification adoption in Nigeria using the Technology Acceptance Model and self-determination theory as bases. The model was expanded to include digital literacy, access to information and communications technology, perceived credibility, and trust. A total of 692 responses were collected using a questionnaire distributed using convenience sampling. The data was analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The findings indicate that the strongest factor affecting the adoption of electronic identification is perceived credibility, followed by perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use. Furthermore, electronic identification adoption is also predicted significantly by digital literacy, trust, and perceived autonomy. However, access to information and communications technology was found to have no significant impact on electronic identification adoption, while perceived cultural influence had a negative effect. These findings provide insights into the factors influencing electronic identification adoption in Nigeria and suggest strategies to increase adoption rates.
