“…These findings can be used to design richer text-free user interfaces. Aguboshim and Miles propose several improvements in interfaces to encourage ATM usage in Nigeria, such as hand-drawn sketches, voice feedback in the user's language, and voice input [54]. The results of the study support findings of similar studies.…”

“…This table highlights the limitations of various application-centric solutions employing text-free interfaces. Different approaches from multiple domains have been covered; for instance, references [40,56] refer to agriculture domain, references [39,45,46,57,58] present healthcare systems, references [54,60] describe financial applications, references [51,45,47,55,60] relate to ecommerce type solutions, and references [38,50,42] show GUI based applications. The proposed solution overcomes the limitations of such applications having text-free interfaces.…”

User interface is an essential element of an information system from the user perspective. The use of text in the user interface presents a challenge to some users, such as illiterate, elderly, non-local language speakers, or users with any disabilities. Numerous studies have proposed text-free user interfaces based on non-textual aids such as pictograms, audio, video, or specialized hardware. Such rich elements in the user interface have implications for an information system's storage and processing requirements. We propose using concept hierarchies to present a dynamic interface to a user based upon user characteristics. A drill-down approach may present more specific interface elements to a user, and a roll-up scheme can identify more generalized interface elements. The proposed scheme can be used to manage internal data of large user interfaces with a rich set of features more effectively as it is computationally inexpensive than sequential processing techniques. We also explore various physical and psychological characteristics of elements and evaluate user preference for them. The results of a survey of 200 respondents show that users consider the use of various colors, alignments, mental models, and look & feel to be essential criteria in interface design. We also conclude that size of interface elements and the use of characters for expressing emotions are significantly important characteristics in interface design. The future work will apply the proposed scheme to a full spectrum of applications ranging from enterprise systems to mobile applications.

“…Consequently, ICT innovations that may potentially play a significantly beneficial role in the empowerment and enhancement of women's capabilities failed because the ICT system interfaces aren't perceived as useful or easy-to-use by the feminine genders [2] and [34], which are majorly illiterate or semiliterate (48.6%) [43]. When different tools and methodologies for work, entertainment, and care are implemented, technologies themselves shape those gender relations involved.…”

Significant empirical evidence from literature revealed that women, described as better versions of men, play integral roles as mothers, educators, household managers, and life-givers, constituting half of the world’s human capital and population. Globally, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) innovations are tremendous enablers of women’s empowerment and capabilities. Despite these important virtues, numerous investigations have shown significant gender gaps in internet use (23%), literacy rate (48.6%), pay gap (22%), tech-related positions (26.7%), tech workforce (19%), tech leadership positions (22%), developer workforce (5%), etc., resulting majorly from restrictions placed by ICT contents, language, and environment that are not pertinent, comfortable and gender-sensitive. Women and girls have great potential to redress gender gaps if empowered through effective, efficient, and satisfactory ICT adoption and usage. This study highlights strategies for reducing gender inequalities by closing existing gaps in ICT usability by women and girls. The conceptual framework espoused for this study was the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). A narrative review methodology of related research findings from peer-reviewed articles was adopted to draw holistic findings that revealed significant information on strategies for reducing gender inequality by leveraging ICT usability for women and girls. Results show that leveraging women’s literacy abilities for ICT adoption and usability may increase their sociability capital resources, thereby advancing sustainable goals for the significant reduction of gender inequalities. With ICT literacy, technology and the internet become enablers for girls and women for harnessing the power of technology for innovative solutions, capable of providing equal employment opportunities that can stimulate economic growth and development. There cannot be significant gender equality without effective leveraging of ICT innovations, literacy, adoption, and usage for the economic empowerment of women and girls.

“…The value, adoption, and use of ICT are measured by its sustainability. Users are motivated to use ICT based on their perceived level of trust, perceived ease of use and easy-to-use (Aguboshim & Miles, 2019). Therefore, failure to value and use ICTs can undermine even the strongest data governance policies, because what contributes to non-sustainable ICT innovations has proven to cause or be related to non-sustainable data governance (Toyo & Ejedafiru, 2016).…”

“…This is because there is evidence that suggests that corrupt practices and non-adherence to policies and rules are increasingly exploiting ICT sustainability, and adversely affecting SDG. Reasons for non-sustainable ICT that adversely affected SDG included problems associated with corrupt policies and poor usability of ICT systems, and not placing required value to ICT by users (GreavuSerban & Serban, 2014), and limited perception of the usefulness and ease of use of ICT innovations (Aguboshim & Miles, 2019).…”

Recent developments in big data have heightened the need for Sustainable Data Governance (SDG). SDG is significant in realizing sustainable economic development in Nigeria. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have made landmark innovational trends in empowering data governance globally. Despite these global impacts of ICT on data governance, numerous investigations have shown that poor sustainability of ICT in Nigeria poses barriers that impede progress related to data governance. SDG which is the pivot for economic growth has remained relatively nonexistence or unattended to due to corrupt policies and practices, ignorance, and illiteracy that plagued sustainable ICT innovations in Nigeria. For this study, the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) was adopted as the conceptual framework. UTAUT model claims that the benefits of using technology and the factors that drive users' decision to use it, is what determines users' acceptance behavior. In this study, the authors explored a narrative review, analysis, and synthesis of prior research that focused on the theoretical underpinnings of vast works of literature that revealed significant information on the impact of sustainable ICT on Sustainable Data Governance in Nigeria. The authors also extracted peer-reviewed articles within the last five years from electronic databases, using some keywords such as "ICT and SDG", "ICT and national economic development", "Trends for ICT", etc. The result of this study revealed that strict adherence to policies, laws, and guidelines on the adoption of ICT coupled with good formulation and communication of same, are the major impact of sustainable ICT that can leverage SDG in Nigeria. The result from this study may increase understanding, minimize corrupt practices and encourage trust in ICT innovations, ICT adoption, its acceptance and sustainability that can positively impact SDG and national economic development in Nigerian.
