| Abstract: | Purpose – This paper sets to elicit the factors affecting the development of information infrastructure in africa. Design/methodology/approach – A Descriptive method was employed in looking at the various infrastructure that we have, based on the usefullness in accomplishing a task. Findings – The findings revealed that there are some factors militating against the development/functionality of information infrastructure in the African context, but this research proves to a large extent that these inadequacies of information infrastructure in Africa are gradually being met. This leads to economic development and nation building in every area of our endeavours because infrastructure has the potential to improve and develop economic, social academic, moral and environmental background in our contemporary society. This is because information and communication infrastructure requires widespread technological resources for its operation. Originality/value – This research and its findings will assist Africans and other nations on the needs of Africans' information infrastructureand how best to care for their information infrastructure in areas of improving on their software/infrastructure production and maintenance. |
