“…No doubt, electricity is a major source of power, a critical infrastructure that is strategic to a nation's socioeconomic development (Idowu et al 2020). However, lessons from the experiences of the customers (citizens) and some selected members of Electricity Committee in Ohatekwe, Agalegu community on the nature and level of power service delivery in Ebonyi State, Nigeria, revealed that factors such as fear of contract review/withdrawal and lack of job security after the probation period (2014-2018) due to change of government affect the performance of electricity supply by the EEDC in Abakaliki.…”

“…Electricity is a significant power source, a vital infrastructure that is crucial to the support of activities of teaching and learning. Currently, the maximum output of electricity is 5000 megawatts that the country currently generates and distributes (Idowu, Ibietan, & Joshua, 2020). This is less than the required capacity to support ICT equipment and facilities in 170 universities in the country (National Universities Commission, 2019).…”

The move toward a paperless environment has become the driving force behind sustainable development and e-government usage in many public sector institutions. It is equally at the heart of the government campaign to make service delivery in public institutions cost effective, seamless, and efficient. The universities are supposed to be at the front-line of this campaign due to their operations which involves the heavy usage of papers at huge costs. Thus, making it important for university management to provide ICT support in order to promote paperless exchange of information and presentations. It is however, understood recently, that there are issues which surround the low usage of ICT among university managements and ultimately, paperless environment. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the main issues and challenges that hinder the implementation of paperless environment in Nigerian universities. The paper highlights the cyclical order of document generation, document management and document sharing as the process in which a paperless environment can take place within both the academic and the administrative settings in the university. The paper highlights and discussed the challenges hindering the attainment of paperless environment among which are infrastructural gap, inadequate ICT support and attitudinal challenge. It is recommended that for smooth operation of paperless environment, government must show strong political will, bridge the infrastructure gap especially electricity as well as train staff on the path to ICT usage.
