Abstract
Cloud computing is an evolving and new way of delivering computing
services and resources over the internet which are managed by third parties at
remote sites. Currently, Cloud computing is enjoying a lot of buzz in Nigeria
due to its perceived economic and operational benefits and stakeholders
believe that it will transform the IT industry in Nigeria. Despite all its
promises there still exist so many challenges before Cloud computing is fully
adopted in the Nigerian ICT sector. This paper delivers an overview of Cloud
computing together with its advantages and disadvantages. Thereafter, the
challenges affecting the adoption of Cloud computing and drivers of
oppoturnities that will favour and nurture the adoption of Cloud computing
by organisations in Nigeria are outlined. Finally, recommendations for the
adoption of Cloud computing technology by stakeholders in Nigeria are
discussed.
