Abstract
A significant number of the universities and higher educational institutions have adopted the latest technology
and implemented it productively, for the development of skilled human resource in respective area of
specialization, as part of their responsibility. Information and communication Technology (ICT) has grown
tremendously around the globe particularly in the developed nations of the world. This growth however appears
to be relatively slower in the developing nations including African nations. The Partnership for Higher Education
in Africa in a recent workshop survey indicated that while some governments have produced national policies on
ICT, many others are yet to do so. As such, the most asked questions is; what are the challenges that hinder
African universities to become efficient and effective in use of ICT as compared to developed nations.
