dc.description.abstractCyberspace has been recognized globally as means to offer access to information, so as to stimulate community development in Nigeria. However, there is still limited understanding about the potential of ICT and the contribution that cyberspace can offer to both urban and rural communities. This study examines the adoption of cyberspace in sustaining the community development in Nigeria. The study employed a quantitative survey design, using a questionnaire administered on 120 respondents. The overall findings revealed that the respondents possess very impressive ICT skill levels. Most of them affirmed that cyberspace had contributed immensely to their individual educational and socio-economic improvement as well as to the general livelihoods in the community. Majority agreed that cyberspace had significantly enhanced their ICT knowledge and suggested that more cyberspace accessibility should be provided by the government, individual and corporate organisations. This will further create opportunities for a better ICT experience in the Ibadan community. The study then proposes a model of cyberspace implementation in community development in making contribution in three spheres which are information mediation, carrier development and community well-being. This study therefore suggests an extensive study on cyberspace at the grass-root level in Nigeria.en_US
