E-Government activities are still very low in Nigeria, a lower middle-income country, and this is hindering
E-Service adoption. E-Service is inextricably linked to E-Government and they will not develop separately,
but as one progresses the other moves forward. Having a new technology like E-service opens new
opportunities for government, private and public sectors. Despite the fact that the new technology will not
be without a hindrance, the overall benefits of using outweigh its lapses.
Nigeria has overtaken South Africa as top Africa economy. There is still more to be done in increasing the
revenue of the country, reducing the huge external debt owing the World Bank. Furthermore, there is a
need to sustain the new status as top economy in Africa. There are many unresolved problems like
corruption. This leads to a slow movement of files in offices, embezzlement, election irregularities, and port
congestions among others. Adoption of E-Service will help to reduce these problems and increase the
revenue base of the country.
This study will identify e-Service roles in economic development in Nigeria, a lower middle-income
country. The study is based on literature review methodology and recent online survey that shows the level
of E-Service awareness and roles. We shall also examine previous conference papers related to this study
and necessary recommendations will be suggested and offered to the authority in Nigeria on how best the
e-service adoption will add more success to the economic development.
Industrial Revolution 4.0, the world over, is bringing a sea change in digitisation and technological automation. Compared to earlier revolutions, the Fourth is evolving at an exponential rather than a linear pace. Moreover, it is disrupting almost every industry in every country, and the breadth and depth of these changes herald the transformation of entire systems of production, management, and governance.
India is on a mission to completely embrace digitalisation and digitisation to transform the economic, social and administrative prospects of the country. In July 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid out his ambitious Digital India plan, with the goals of bridging the digital divide in the country, increasing global
competitiveness, fostering innovation and creating jobs. Just 18 months later, we're already seeing the immense impact of digitisation, not only in terms of GDP growth and job creation, but also, in improving the overall quality of life of citizens, and creating better access to jobs and educational opportunities.
The transition from policy to practice has been swift and steadfast. The Central Bank and government are rapidly bringing India’s population into the formal financial ecosystem. While the private sector continues to utilise and accelerate the spread of digitisation, the launch of central government initiatives such as Smart Cities, Digital India and the National Digital Literacy Mission and Broadband Highway, amongst many others, hold tremendous promise in transforming the socio-economic landscape.

Conceptualization of electronic government adoptionIJMIT JOURNAL
E-government facilitates provision of relevant government information in electronic form to the citizens in
a timely manner and better service delivery to citizens. Information Technology today is recognized as an
effective tool for turning the economic activity in efficient governance and in developing human resource.
E-government is a kind of governmental administration which is based on ICT Services. The essence of egovernment is using information technology to break the boundary of administrative organizations, and
build up a virtual electronic government. E-government initiatives are common in most countries as they
promise a transparent, citizen-centric government and reduce operational cost. Emerging with Egovernment, theories and practices of public administration have stepped into a new knowledge era. Egovernment presents a tremendous impetus to move forward with higher quality, cost-effective, government
services and a better relationship between citizens and government. This paper discusses the different
issues, challenges, adoption factors for e-government implementation, conceptual demarcation on these
factors and, presents a conceptual framework for better e-government performance.
Development of internet technology in BangladeshMasum Hussain
Bangladesh is a developing country of South Asia with a huge population of 160 million living within a small geographical boundary of 1,47,570 square kilometers. Bangladesh is popularly known as one of the most densely populated countries of the world where the density rate is 1015 per sq. km. So it's a great challenge for the Bangladesh government to feed up the increasing population as the cultivable lands are decreasing day by day. Moreover providing cloths, accommodation facilities, giving education and health care facilities to the people which are the primary duties of the government are also becoming difficult for the increasing population. Apart from these being a developing country the government can't also affords to set up new industries and create employment opportunities for the people. So it's very difficult for the country to compete with the rising economic powers in the global arena with the burden of this population. But it's a matter of concern that there is no chance of decreasing these problems in upcoming days rather these are turning into a devastating shape. Proper and planned utilization of internet technology can be a nice solution in this regard. Somebody may be surprised to hear this. They may argue that how it's possible to change the overall scenario of the country through using internet technology. Rather they may show the logic against this theory and say that use of technology will accelerate unemployment problems of the country, high cost is involved to use this and expert knowledge is required to avail this facility of modern science. But the reality doesn't match with their imagination. Here I'll try my level best to prove the fact that use of internet technology can be a great medium for the sustainable development of the country through logical explanation from different points of view.
Realizing to the fullest possible extent the infinite potential of the Equation: IT+ IT = IT, that is, Indian Talent + Information Technology= India Tomorrow to create and build a vibrant and sturdy edifice of IT/ITeS Eco-system on the basis of Innovation and Knowledge Capital, to utilize the huge talent pool of Young India and to contribute to the overall economy and prosperity of the State and the Nation.

Despite the immeasurable investment in e-government initiatives throughout the world, such initiatives have yet to succeed in fully meeting expectations and desired outcomes. A key objective of this research article is to support the government of the UAE in realizing its vision of e-government transformation. It presents an innovative framework to support e-government implementation, which was developed from a practitioner's perspective and based on learnings from numerous e-government practices around the globe. The framework presents an approach to guide governments worldwide, and UAE in particular, to develop a top down strategy and leverage technology in order realize its long term goal of e-government transformation. The study also outlines the potential role of modern national identity schemes in enabling the transformation of traditional identities into digital identities. The work presented in this study is envisaged to help bridge the gap between policy makers and implementers, by providing greater clarity and reducing misalignment on key elements of e-government transformation. In the hands of leaders that have a strong will to invest in e-government transformation, the work presented in this study is envisaged to become a powerful tool to communicate and coordinate initiatives, and provide a clear visualization of an integrated approach to e-government transformation.

It then discusses the program's use of Identity Management in the strategic initiatives, explains their purpose in the facilitation of e-Government within the United Arab Emirates and describes a general roadmap for implementation.
Defining Pace of Urban Development: E-Governance (International Journal of Ap...Omkar Parishwad
The rapid development of cities has been concerned with the delivery of services in an organized, planned manner. The urban sector in India, is struggling to make effective use of Information and Communication Technology to further deployment of resources for information retrieval, decision making, ongoing management, service delivery and outreach. All evidence points to the obvious benefits of the use of ICT; environmental and economic sustainability and general livability. This vision of e-governance involves ICT applications to mitigate the
impacts of rapid urbanization. With E-Government systems revolutions befalling urban India due to various policy level interventions by the government; swiftness in development has been ascertained. The present paper investigates Urban Development that has brought e- Governance applications catering to the Government relating to Infrastructure Sector, amongst others; thus affecting environmental, social and economic structure significantly. The study further finds the scope of progress and affected areas for development, encouraged by certain e-Government solutions. The research helps us arrive at a line of action and necessary initiatives for successful implementation of ICT based solutions in Infrastructure industry. It also allows a peek into future scenario of improvements and deliberations in India in consideration with the scenario of developing countries.

APPLYING AN ARABIC CONVERSATIONAL AGENT IN THE JORDANIAN E-GOVERNMENTijcsit
This paper discusses a prototype idea of applying a Conversational Agent (CA) to be embedded into the Jordanian E-government websites. The Conversational Agent is a smart system used to handle natural conversations between user and machine. A Jordanian citizen facing struggles when he/she want to apply for a service through the E-government portal.In addition the Jordanians struggling when searched for a
piece of information (for example the needed documents for a specific service) inside the E-government websites. This struggling comes from number of reasons such as the needed knowledge that the user could have to deal with such services and the big number of links that the user must visitto achieve his/her target.In addition, the Jordanian E-Government websites does not meet the users’ requirements in their design.
Instead, this paper proposes the idea of applying a prototype called CA into those websites as a general help desk automated service to save the Jordanians time and effort. Simply, the user will chat with the proposed CA with what he/she coming to do through the targeted website using a text based Arabic conversations. The CA’s responses might be the exact needed link or the targeted information. Such a proposed service will strength the Jordanian E-government platform especially for accessibility and usability factors and as to best of our knowledge, no country has been applied it before.
This article provides an overview of eGovernment and its role in revolutionising existing governmental systems. It argues that in order for eGovernment initiatives to truly succeed, we need to develop public trust and confidence to promote diffusion and participation. The article relates this to the recently announced UAE eGovernment Strategic Framework 2011-2013. The framework attempts to promote the electronic transformation of all government services within a period of three years. An important component of the strategic framework in question is the use of the existing national identity management infrastructure and the development of a government-owned federated identity management system to support Government-to-Citizen (G2C) eGovernment transactions and promote trust and confidence on the Internet.
Je partage avec vous le plan de transformation digital du Kenya.
Le document que j'ai trouvé lors de mes recherches dans le cadre d'une étude pour un client a l'avantage d'être claire ( vision et stratégie bien identifiée) et précis ( plan d'action avec des indicateurs précis pour chaque secteur).
Loin du buzz politique, un document pareil a l'avantage de:
- Assurer une continuité de l'Etat et permettra aux différents gouvernement de lancer des projets sur ce qui a été déja entrepris.
- La citoyens et les entreprises savent clairement où ils vont ( ou doivent) aller d'ici 10 ans. Ainsi les "sacrifices" s'il y a lieu sont mieux acceptés
- Les investisseurs étrangers ont une plus grande confiance dans l'économie et peuvent aligner leurs plans d'actions sur la stratégie globale du pays
Une démarche simple qui devrait être adoptée par l'ensemble des pays Africains.
Taxation: The Instrument of Economic Growth in NigeriaAJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: The provision of basic infrastructures are very important to the economic development of a
nation. The extent to which the government is able to provide these amenities is determined by the number of
resources at the government's disposal. The inability of the government to provide these basic amenities have
led to the winding up and relocation of many multinational companies operating in Nigeria to other African
countries. As a result, this study investigated the effects of corporate income tax (CIT) and customs and excise
duty (CED) on economic growth. The study used a descriptive research design, and data from 1971 to 2020
were gathered from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin and Federal Inland Revenue Service
(FIRS) publicationThe study concluded that the provision of basic infrastructures will boost the economy and
will drive individual taxpayers towards a positive response to tax payments. This will increase the level of tax
compliance and result in additional revenue for the government.This study recommended that the government
should make developmental projects their top agenda item as the availability of infrastructural facilities is a
necessary condition for investment that will grow the economy.

E-government Implementation in Kenya, an evaluation of Factors hindering or p...Editor IJCATR
Use of ICT in Government has ability to improve service delivery to its citizens, and yet many developing countries have
lagged behind in the implementation of E-government. Many e-government initiatives also failed to achieve their objectives in
developing countries. This paper therefore aims to identify critical failure or success factors in Kenya, using Heeks’ Factor Model. A
survey questionnaire was developed and data were collected and analyzed from officials and interested citizens. The analysis result
enabled to highlight seven specific success and failure factors in Kenya. The enablers of e-government projects are good strategy
formulation, internal and external drive, employee competence and enough funding, whereas main failure of e-government are weak
ICT infrastructure, poor Project management and Design. Data analysis highlights both strengths and weaknesses for each factor or
factor. Finally, the study ends up with recommendations for policy makers to shape the future of e-government system in developing
countries.

The building of e-government has become a priority issue as well as a challenge for many local, state, and
federal government agencies worldwide. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is now widely
employed to help the governments transformation toward smart governments. Many critical success factors
(CSF) are there to determine the chance a transformation project can go-live. It has been noticed that the
implementation journey for IT solutions in the public sector has lots of barriers and challenges which lead
to low success rate of projects. This study examines the effect of the Ease of Delivery of the implementation
journey on the Success of Delivery. The result shows that the Ease of Delivery is positively related to the
Success of Delivery. The result of this study has the potential to increase the success rate of IT projects in
government sector by shedding the light on the most important factors affecting the delivery journey for egovernment projects

MULTIMODAL COURSE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION USING LEML AND LMS FOR INSTRUCTIO...IJMIT JOURNAL
Traditionally, teaching has been centered around classroom delivery. However, the onslaught of the
COVID-19 pandemic has cultivated usage of technology, teaching, and learning methodologies for course
delivery. We investigate and describe different modes of course delivery that maintain the integrity of
teaching and learning. This paper answers to the research questions: 1) What course delivery method our
academic institutions use and why? 2) How can instructors validate the guidelines of the institutions? 3)
How courses should be taught to provide student learning outcomes? Using the Learning Environment
Modeling Language (LEML), we investigate the design and implementation of courses for delivery in the
following environments: face-to-face, online synchronous, asynchronous, hybrid, and hyflex. A good
course design and implementation are key components of instructional alignment. Furthermore, we
demonstrate how to design, implement, and deliver courses in synchronous, asynchronous, and hybrid
modes and describe our proposed enhancements to LEML.
Novel R&D Capabilities as a Response to ESG Risks-Lessons From Amazon’s Fusio...IJMIT JOURNAL
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management is essential for transforming corporate
financial performance-oriented business strategies into Finance (F) + ESG optimization strategies to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this trend, the rise of ESG risks has divided firms into two categories. Former incorporates a growthmindset that creates a passion for learning, and urges it to improve itself by endeavoring Research and
development (R&D) -driven challenges, while the other category, characterized by risk aversion, avoids
challenging highly uncertain R&D activities and seeks more manageable endeavors.
This duality underscores the complexity of corporate R&D strategies in addressing ESG risks and
necessitates the development of novel R&D capabilities for corporate R&D transformation strategies
towards F + ESG optimization.

NOVEL R & D CAPABILITIES AS A RESPONSE TO ESG RISKS- LESSONS FROM AMAZON’S FU...IJMIT JOURNAL
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) management is essential for transforming corporate
financial performance-oriented business strategies into Finance (F) + ESG optimization strategies to
achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
In this trend, the rise of ESG risks has divided firms into two categories. Former incorporates a growthmindset that creates a passion for learning, and urges it to improve itself by endeavoring Research and
development (R&D) -driven challenges, while the other category, characterized by risk aversion, avoids
challenging highly uncertain R&D activities and seeks more manageable endeavors.
This duality underscores the complexity of corporate R&D strategies in addressing ESG risks and
necessitates the development of novel R&D capabilities for corporate R&D transformation strategies
towards F + ESG optimization.
Building on this premise, this paper conducts an empirical analysis, utilizing reliable firms data on ESG
risk and brand value, with a focus on 100 global R&D leader firms. It analyzes R&D and actions for ESG
risk mitigation, and assesses the development of new functions that fulfill F + ESG optimization through
R&D. The analysis also highlights the significance of network externality effects, with a specific focus on
Amazon, a leading R&D company, providing insights into the direction for transforming R&D strategies
towards F + ESG optimization.
The dynamics of stakeholder engagement in F + ESG optimization are indicated with the example of
amazon's activities. Through the analysis, it became evident that Amazon's capacity encompassing growth
and scalability, specifically its ability to grow and expand, is accelerating high-level research and
development by gaining the trust of stakeholders in the "synergy through R&D-driven ESG risk
mitigation."
Finally, as examples of these initiatives, the paper discussed the Climate Pledge led by Amazon and the
transformation of Japan's management system.
A REVIEW OF STOCK TREND PREDICTION WITH COMBINATION OF EFFECTIVE MULTI TECHNI...IJMIT JOURNAL
It is important for investors to understand stock trends and market conditions before trading stocks. Both
these capabilities are very important for an investor in order to obtain maximized profit and minimized
losses. Without this capability, investors will suffer losses due to their ignorance regarding stock trends
and market conditions. Technical analysis helps to understand stock prices behavior with regards to past
trends, the signals given by indicators and the major turning points of the market price. This paper reviews
the stock trend predictions with a combination of the effective multi technical indicator strategy to increase
investment performance by taking into account the global performance and the proposed combination of
effective multi technical indicator strategy model.
INTRUSION DETECTION SYSTEM USING CUSTOMIZED RULES FOR SNORTIJMIT JOURNAL
These days the security provided by the computer systems is a big issue as it always has the threats of
cyber-attacks like IP address spoofing, Denial of Service (DOS), token impersonation, etc. The security
provided by the blue team operations tends to be costly if done in large firms as a large number of systems
need to be protected against these attacks. This leads these firms to turn to less costly security
configurations like IDS Suricata and IDS Snort. The main theme of the project is to improve the services
provided by Snort which is a tool used in creating a vague defense against cyber-attacks like DDOS
attacks which are done on both physical and network layers. These attacks in turn result in loss of
extremely important data. The rules defined in this project will result in monitoring traffic, analyzing it,
and taking appropriate action to not only stop the attack but also locate its source IP address. This whole
process uses different tools other than Snort like Wireshark, Wazuh and Splunk. The product of this will
result in not only the detection of the attack but also the source IP address of the machine on which the
attack is initiated and completed. The end product of this research will result in sets of default rules for the
Snort tool which will not only be able to provide better security than its previous versions but also be able
to provide the user with the IP address of the attacker or the person conducting the attack. The system
involves the integration of Wazuh with Snort tool in order to make it more efficient than IDS Suricata
which is another intrusion detection system capable of detecting all these types of attacks as mentioned.
Splunk is another tool used in this project which increases the firewall efficiency to pass the no. of bits to
be scanned and the no. of bits scanned successfully. Wazuh is used in this system as it is the best choice for
traffic monitoring and incident response than any other of its alternatives in the market. Since this system
is used in firms which are known to handle big amounts of data and for this purpose, we use Splunk tool as
it is very efficient in handling big amounts of data. Wireshark is used in this system in order to give the IDS
automation in its capability to capture and report the malicious packets found during the network scan. All
of this gives the IDS a capability of a low budget automated threat detection system. This paper gives
complete guidelines for authors submitting papers for the AIRCC Journals.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become a critical technology for businesses seeking to improve
efficiency and profitability. One area where AI is proving particularly impactful is in service operations
management, where it is used to create AI-powered service operations (AIServiceOps) that deliver highvalue services to customers. AIServiceOps involve the use of AI to automate and optimize various business
processes, such as customer service, sales, marketing, and supply chain management. The rapid
development of Artificial Intelligence has prompted many changes in the field of Information Technology
(IT) Service Operations. IT Service Operations are driven by AI, i.e., AIServiceOps. AI has empowered
new vitality and addressed many challenges in IT Service Operations. However, there is a literature gap on
the Business Value Impact of Artificial intelligence (AI) Powered IT Service Operations. It can help IT
build optimized business resilience by creating value in complex and ever-changing environments as
product organizations move faster than IT can handle. So, this research paper examines how AIServiceOps
creates business value and sustainability, basically how AIServiceOps makes the IT staff liberation from a
low-level, repetitive workout and traditional IT practices for a continuously optimized process. One of the
research objectives is to compare Traditional IT Service Operations with AIServiceOPs. This paper
provides the basis for how enterprises can evaluate AIServiceOps and consider it a digital transformation
tool. The paper presents a case study of a company that implemented AI-powered service operations

MEDIATING AND MODERATING FACTORS AFFECTING READINESS TO IOT APPLICATIONS: THE...IJMIT JOURNAL
Although IOT seems to be the upcoming trend, it is still in its infancy; especially in the banking industry.
There is a clear gap in literature, as only few studies identify factors affecting readiness to IOT
applications in banks in general, and almost negligible investigations on mediating and moderating
factors. Accordingly, this research aims to investigate the main factors that affect employees’ readiness to
IOT applications, while highlighting the mediating and moderating factors in the Egyptian banking sector.
The importance of Egypt stems from its high population and steady steps taken towards technology
adoption. 479 valid questionnaires were distributed over HR employees in banks. Data collected was
statistically analysed using Regression and SEM. Results showed a significant impact of ‘Security’,
‘Networking’, ‘Software Development’ and ‘Regulations’ on ‘readiness to IOT applications. Thus, the
readiness acceptance level is high‘Security’ and ‘User Intention’ were proven to mediate the relationship
between research variables and readiness to IOT applications, and only a partial moderation role was
proven for ‘Efficiency’. The study contributes to increasing literature on IOT applications in general, and
fills a gap on the Egyptian banking context in particular. Finally, it provides decision makers at banks with
useful guidelines on how to optimally promote IOT applications among employees.
EFFECTIVELY CONNECT ACQUIRED TECHNOLOGY TO INNOVATION OVER A LONG PERIODIJMIT JOURNAL
IT (Information and Communication Technology) companies are facing the dilemma of decreasing
productivity despite increasing research and development efforts. M&A (Merger and Acquisition) is being
considered as a breakthrough solution. From existing research, it has been pointed out that M&A leads to
the emergence of new innovations. Purpose of this study was to discuss the efficient ways of acquisition and
to resolve the dilemma of productivity decline by clarifying how the technology obtained through M&A
leads to the creation of new innovations. Hypothesis 1 was that the technology acquired through M&A is
utilized for innovation creation, Hypothesis 2 was that the acquired technology is utilized over a long
period of time, and Hypothesis 3 was that a long-term utilization has a positive impact on corporate
performance. The results, using sports prosthetics as a case study and using patents as a proxy variable,
confirmed all the hypotheses set. We have revealed that long-term utilization of technology obtained
through M&A is effective for creating new innovations.

TRANSFORMING SERVICE OPERATIONS WITH AI: A CASE FOR BUSINESS VALUEIJMIT JOURNAL
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly become a critical technology for businesses seeking to improve
efficiency and profitability. One area where AI is proving particularly impactful is in service operations
management, where it is used to create AI-powered service operations (AIServiceOps) that deliver highvalue services to customers. AIServiceOps involve the use of AI to automate and optimize various business
processes, such as customer service, sales, marketing, and supply chain management. The rapid
development of Artificial Intelligence has prompted many changes in the field of Information Technology
(IT) Service Operations. IT Service Operations are driven by AI, i.e., AIServiceOps. AI has empowered
new vitality and addressed many challenges in IT Service Operations. However, there is a literature gap on
the Business Value Impact of Artificial intelligence (AI) Powered IT Service Operations. It can help IT
build optimized business resilience by creating value in complex and ever-changing environments as
product organizations move faster than IT can handle. So, this research paper examines how AIServiceOps
creates business value and sustainability, basically how AIServiceOps makes the IT staff liberation from a
low-level, repetitive workout and traditional IT practices for a continuously optimized process. One of the
research objectives is to compare Traditional IT Service Operations with AIServiceOPs. This paper
provides the basis for how enterprises can evaluate AIServiceOps and consider it a digital transformation
tool. The paper presents a case study of a company that implemented AI-powered service operations
(AIServiceOps) and analyzes the resulting business outcomes. The study shows that AIServiceOps can
significantly improve service delivery, reduce response times, and increase customer satisfaction.
Furthermore, it demonstrates how AIServiceOps can deliver substantial cost savings, such as reducing
labor costs and minimizing downtime.
DESIGNING A FRAMEWORK FOR ENHANCING THE ONLINE KNOWLEDGE-SHARING BEHAVIOR OF ...IJMIT JOURNAL
The main objective of this paper is to identify the factors that influence academic staff's digital knowledgesharing behaviors in Ethiopian higher education. A structural equation model was used to validate the
research framework using survey data from 210 respondents. The collected data has been analyzed using
Smart PLS software. The results of the study show that trust, self-motivation, and altruism are positively
related to attitude. Contrary to our expectations, knowledge technology negatively affects attitude.
However, reward systems and empowerment by leaders are significantly associated with knowledgesharing intentions.Knowledge-sharing intention, in turn, was significantly related to digital knowledgesharing behavior. The contributions of this study are twofold. The framework may serve as a roadmap for
future researchers and managers considering their strategy to enhance digital knowledge sharing in HEI.
The findings will benefit academic staff and university administrations.The study will also help academic
staff enhance their knowledge-sharing practices.
BUILDING RELIABLE CLOUD SYSTEMS THROUGH CHAOS ENGINEERINGIJMIT JOURNAL
Cloud computing systems need to be reliable so that they can be accessed and used for computing at any
given point in time. The complex nature of cloud systems is the motivation to conduct research in novel
ways of ensuring that cloud systems are built with reliability in mind. In building cloud systems, it is
expected that the cloud system will be able to deal with high demands and unexpected events that affect the
reliability and performance of the system.
In this paper, chaos engineering is considered a heuristic method that can be used to build reliable cloud
systems. Chaos engineering is aimed at exposing weaknesses in systems that are in production. Chaos
engineering will help identify system weaknesses and strengths when a system is exposed to unexpected
knocks and shocks while it is in production.
Chaos engineering allows system developers and administrators to get insights into how the cloud system
will behave when it is exposed to unexpected occurrences.

INCLUSIVE ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN HANDLING COMPETING INSTITUTIONAL LOGICS FOR DHI...IJMIT JOURNAL
Information System (IS) research advocates employing collaborative and loose coupling strategies to address contradictory issues to address diversified actors’ interests than the prescriptive and unilateral Information Technology (IT) governance mechanisms’, yet it is rarely depicting how managers employ these strategies in Health Information System (HIS) implementation, particularly in a resource-constrained setting where IS implementation activities have highly relied on multiple international organizations resources. This study explored how managers in resource-constrained settings employ collaborative IT governance mechanisms in the case of District Health Information System 2 (DHIS2) adoption with an interpretative case study approach and the institutional logic concept. The institutional logic concept was used to identify the major actors’ logics underpinning the DHIS2 adoption. The study depicted the importance of high-level officials' distance from the dominant systemic logic to consider new alternative, and to employ inclusive IT governance mechanisms which separated resource from the system that facilitated stakeholders’ collaboration in DHIS2 adoption based on their capacity and interest.
DEEP LEARNING APPROACH FOR EVENT MONITORING SYSTEMIJMIT JOURNAL
With an increasing number of extreme events and complexity, more alarms are being used to monitor
control rooms. Operators in the control rooms need to monitor and analyze these alarms to take suitable
actions to ensure the system’s stability and security. Security is the biggest concern in the modern world. It
is important to have a rigid surveillance that should guarantee protection from any sought of hazard.
Considering security, Closed Circuit TV (CCTV) cameras are being utilized for reconnaissance, but these
CCTV cameras require a person for supervision. As a human being, there can be a possibility to be tired
off in supervision at any point of time. So, we need a system to detect automatically. Thus, we came up with
a solution using YOLO V5. We have taken a data set and used robo-flow framework to enhance the existing
images into numerous variations where it will create a copy of grey scale image, a copy of its rotation and
a copy of its blurred version which will be used to get an enlarged data set. This work mainly focuses on
providing a secure environment using CCTV live footage as a source to detect the weapons. Using YOLO
algorithm, it divides an image from the video into grid system and each grid detects an object within itself

ROLES OF E-SERVICE IN ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT, CASE STUDY OF NIGERIA, A
LOWER-MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRY
Kazeem Oluwakemi Oseni and Dr. Kate Dingley
University of Portsmouth, Portsmouth, United Kingdom
Abstract
E-Government activities are still very low in Nigeria, a lower middle-income country, and this is hindering
E-Service adoption. E-Service is inextricably linked to E-Government and they will not develop separately,
but as one progresses the other moves forward. Having a new technology like E-service opens new
opportunities for government, private and public sectors. Despite the fact that the new technology will not
be without a hindrance, the overall benefits of using outweigh its lapses.
Nigeria has overtaken South Africa as top Africa economy. There is still more to be done in increasing the
revenue of the country, reducing the huge external debt owing the World Bank. Furthermore, there is a
need to sustain the new status as top economy in Africa. There are many unresolved problems like
corruption. This leads to a slow movement of files in offices, embezzlement, election irregularities, and port
congestions among others. Adoption of E-Service will help to reduce these problems and increase the
revenue base of the country.
This study will identify e-Service roles in economic development in Nigeria, a lower middle-income
country. The study is based on literature review methodology and recent online survey that shows the level
of E-Service awareness and roles. We shall also examine previous conference papers related to this study
and necessary recommendations will be suggested and offered to the authority in Nigeria on how best the
e-service adoption will add more success to the economic development.
Keywords: E-Service, Roles of E-Service, E-Government, Economic Development, Nigeria.
1. INTRODUCTION
The introduction of new technology opens new opportunities for private and public sectors and e-
services are no exceptions. Though, they face a number of challenges [11]. Governments in most
developed and developing countries will like to implement e-service such as e-procurement
technology in Malaysia. This will enhance transparency and accountability [3].
Though, the governments of developed nations have realised that the provision of essential public
services cannot be shouldered alone. The complication in demand patterns coupled with the
limitation in resources have brought about the need for public-private collaboration [24]. In some
developed countries, public-private collaboration involves in the coming together of the
government, private businesses and the society at large. The aim is to provide public e-services
for economic development and to achieve a common objective [32].
Information system has improved the operations in organisations both private and public. It has
contributed immensely to economic development as manual based operation has now shifted to
computer based [17]. E-Service transactions have now to a large extent faced out face to face and
telephone based transactions [18]. The Cashless economy policy introduced by Central Bank of
2. International Journal of Managing Information Technology (IJMIT) Vol.7, No.2, May 2015
14
Nigeria (CBN) in 2012 has been effective. Apart from reducing the manual cash handling in the
public, Nigeria has overtaken South Africa as top Africa economy [6].
This paper is of interest to the government officials and public because e-government activities in
Nigeria are low and huge revenue is lost annually due to manual documentation. The study will
examine the roles of e-service in economic development as well-enlightening public the need to
adopt e-service in the country considering the overall benefits.
2. LITERATURE REVIEW
There are related research papers on e-Service, adoption and implementation [1]; [4];[6];
[7];[12];[10]; [18]. There is no current research paper on the role of e-Service in economic
development in Nigeria. This shows the important of this study. Despite the fact that level of e-
government services in Nigeria is still very low [21].
The current e-service applications in the country have helped in the revenue boost [6].
Government need to improve in ICT provision both telecommunication and infrastructure. The
coming of mobile communication into the country in 2001 has increased the economic strength of
the country because of rapid growth in the sector [1].
The concept of e-Government, e-Service, Nigeria economic development and the roles of e-
Service in Nigeria economic development will form the next section of this study.
2.1 E-Government
The concept of e-government emerged in the late 1990s despite that the history of computing as a
tool in government establishments could be traced back to the origin of computer itself and just
like other e-platform concept such as e-commerce, the term e-government was born out of
internet world [2]. Few decades ago, e-Government as a term and as an identified activity was
unknown before now and because of rapid growth, there is possible future direction for the
research domain [14].
It is important to know that "E-Government initially began as an intra-governmental
communication tool" according to [28] shortly before government organizations developed their
websites with various useful information. Online transactions started immediately the information
of government unit websites have been mastered followed by private sector’s focus on electronic
commerce [28].
Moreover, it should be noted that the term e-Government is more than just websites where email
or processing of transaction is being done using internet, e-Government has become part of
technological advancement in our knowledgeable society of today. New concepts have been
added to e-Government which includes accountability, transparency and evaluation of
government performance through citizen’s participation [20].
2.2 E-Service Concept
E-Service as a term is not only about “electronic” and “service” as argued by [29] but the true e-
service operation may be where part if not all interaction between service provider and customer
is done via internet. This was also substantiated by [30]. E-Service known as electronic service is
the service provided through electronic medium like mobile, kiosk and online [7].
3. International Journal of Managing Information Technology (IJMIT) Vol.7, No.2, May 2015
15
E-Service concept unites the important trends in the business world, the shifting of the economy
from goods to services [25]. The quick development of information and electronic networks has
helped in e-service growth[25]. In Nigeria today, most government and private agencies still
depend on employee’s honesty to give accurate account in using public funds and collection of
revenue to support economy development [10]. Information technology through e-service in this
area is seen as an enabler to give appropriate and open accountability in revenue and resource
management [10] due to high corruption in the country [6].
The role of information technology in economic development cannot be measured as e-service
has helped to check fraudster’s activities in the collection of various government revenues in
Nigeria [15]. The living standard of citizen could be improved with developmental projects if
fund is available [15]. Governments should avoid consequences connected with technological
change be it economic or social [4]. Though, there are many benefits with the use and application
of digital and e-Government services [4].
However, the use of the technology (e-Service) might not be able to totally remove challenges
facing the economic growth. It will, therefore, encourage the actualization of economic
development goals through prompt availability and exchange of information [15].
2.3 Nigeria Economic Development
This section provides a review of economic developments in Nigeria with trends in the major
macroeconomic variables [16]. Nigeria has always played a major economic role in the world.
Nigeria is the largest black nation, and the economy of Nigeria is the largest and one of the most
developed economies in Africa [34]. Considering the abundant human and material resources in
Nigeria, the economic development is still hampered by numerous challenges like bad leadership
and management [27].
The economic performance of Nigeria does not reflect resource endowments. Though, there is
considerable progress in the economy [27]. Discussion on economic development focus on Gross
Domestic Product (GDP) Growth Summary and inflation rate for 2011 and 2012 as presented in
Table 1, Figures 1, 2 and 3 below [16].

The Table 1 and Figures 1, 2 and 3 above indicates role of E-Services in Nigeria’s economic
development focusing on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) Growth Summary and inflation rate for
the year 2011 and 2012 [16].
2.4 E-Service Roles in Nigeria Economic Development
This section provides a review of e-Service roles in Nigeria economic development. Though, the
economic performance in Nigeria has been very slow compared to many Asia countries that were
behind Nigeria about few decades ago [27]. The Asia countries have transformed economies that
made them major players in the global economic arena and Nigeria can learn lessons from them
[27].
Political stability and security are vital in establishing a conducive environment for economic
growth as technology use will support exports [27]. Though, Nigeria is presently witnessing
political instability even that has not stopped the economy to become the largest in Africa [34].
Despite the huge revenue made by government in Nigeria through deployment of e-Services in
government’s operations [6] and facilities for users to give online feedback [9]. Recent study
showed that 70% of Nigeria state websites are still in publishing stage of e-government with 30%
having reached the second stage [21].
The following have been identified by [19] as major roles e-Service has played in Nigeria
economic development.
1. Facilitating employment through ICT tools/ Job creation
2. Bridging the cultural gap.
3. E-Participation & Governance, Democracy.
4. Local content.
5. Gender empowerment
Employment: The creation of jobs through ICT enable platform has improved in Nigeria.
Capacity building has contributed to huge revenue government is making annually [19]. A
6. International Journal of Managing Information Technology (IJMIT) Vol.7, No.2, May 2015
18
typical example is the European Commission Mutual Learning Programme for Public
Employment Services (PES) and E-services. Self-help tools were developed for job-seekers
making it easier to networking, using step by step guidelines towards work [22].
Cultural Gap: The provision of e-services in Nigeria has help to bridge cultural gap [19].
Different cultures now have mutual understanding on how to network together. This is possible as
citizens have benefitted from the availability of e-services in the areas like education [19].
E-Participation & Governance, Democracy: Awareness has been improved in the e-
participation and governance domain [19]. People are now aware of the benefit of paying tax
regularly and easier online platforms have been designed to pay and monitor the evaders [6].
Cashless economy introduces in Nigeria in 2012 have reduced the manual cash handling in the
public. Nigeria has overtaken South Africa as top Africa economy [6].
Local Content: Export of goods are improving, records keeping is now excellent through
provision of e-services in Nigeria. E-service is committed to building capacity to support business
and capability of the local people for economic development [19].
Gender Empowerment: This is described as a process by which women could overcome many
obstacles confronting them such as employment, education, health care [5]. This has been made
easy using ICT enabling platforms [19].
3. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The methodology for this research work is in two folds [4]. The first one based on a review of
previous studies [3]; [6]; [9]; [13]; [15]; [16];[19]; [27] and the second part of the methodology is
the survey using online questionnaires [23] sent to participants on the awareness and usefulness
of e-service. The objective of this study is to examine the roles of e-Service in economic
development of Nigeria. This is an impact study and multiple research methods are adopted [26].
In this study, the questionnaires were designed to help in data collection and the questions are
into two categories as used by [6]; [23]. Demography was used and validated by [20]; [31]. The
second part of the questionnaires is about e-Service awareness and usage whose questions have
been used and validated by [31]
4. Analysis of findings
Early research results and findings were based on studying related works on the roles of e-Service
in economic development of Nigeria [3]; [6]; [9]; [13]; [15]; [16];[19]; [27] and the outcome of the
online survey [23]. Though, there are still many challenges facing the full implementation of e-
Services in various aspect of the economy [27].
The findings shows that e-Service has contributed immensely to the economic development of
Nigeria as summarised by [9] in the areas such as job creation through the use of ICT tools,
increase in local content, port decongestion, an increase in revenue through e-tax and high e-
Participation awareness. It has a major boost and substantial influence on customer reactions
towards e-Governance [27].
In recent survey conducted by the authors between 23th September and 30th
October 2014 for the
purpose of this paper and from the result shows below, 83 (69%) were males and 33 (28%)
females, and 4 respondents avoided the question. Questionnaires have been designed in such a
way that respondents could still answer the next question despite skipping the previous question.
More participants in the age range 20-39 participated in the survey with 61%. 102 out of 120

participants, who participated in the questionnaires, have now heard of e-Service (awareness
level). 49 E-Service Users were satisfied with the service, 9 extremely satisfied with 29 neutral
(undecided). 24 users were not satisfied and 3 users were extremely dissatisfied. The detailed
survey results and analysis are in the previous paper by the authors [23]with the title Challenges
of e-Service Adoption and Implementation in Nigeria: Lessons from Asia [33].
5. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
We have been able to examine the roles of e-service in Nigeria economic development. Despite
low e-Governance activities in Nigeria [21], successful e-Service implementation will continue to
increase revenue and aid economic development. With findings above, future research is needed
to identify and implement cost-effective, usable e-Service systems for the country. Good
leadership management, awareness and availability of e-Services are recommended in order to
have a more robust economy. More indicators of good governance could be added to these ideas
for more realistic finding and more acceptable outcomes.
