Abstract
Unprecedented growth in the use of ICTs has contributed to digital divide in Nigeria.
Despite global efforts in bridging the digital divide in developed and developing nations,
digital equality is yet to be achieved in nations. Government's effort in bridging the digital divide in Nigeria has become a daunting task due to several barriers hindering the use of ICTs by the rural dwellers such as low income, low deployment of telecommunication infrastructure, lack of skills, access, language and cultural challenges among others.
