Abstract
Nigeria independence in 1960 came with both political and economic liberty but not without their management responsibility. Both are systematically related as platform for promoting citizens’ welfare. In a globalizing world under perpetual influence of technology, especially in driving economic activities, the place of e-governance in Nigeria context demands a review. How has electronic governing approach positively impact economic growth in Nigeria? This is a question the paper tries to provide an answer and therefore its major objective is to examine the nexus between e- governance and economic growth in Nigeria. We explored secondary data sources as qualitative research methods. Development theory was adopted for the purpose of making explanations. The theory is a conglomeration of theories about how desirables in society are best achieved. The theory offers different explanations to the process of development and their resultant effects. We conclude that there is under exploration and utilization of electronic potentials by the Nigeria government in the management of her economy for economic growth and suggest that digital commercial transactions should be more promoted and facilitated by policy makers and stakeholders to achieve the desired economic growth in Nigeria.
