Abstract

With the recent slump in Nigeria economy, diversification of the economy has been emphasized by different researchers both economist and academics as well. With the present administration drive to be self- sufficient independent of oil, Information Communication Technology is ready to a major drive in realising that goal. Developed countries have used the sector to remain afloat and this has to be Nigeria case too. With ICT contributing more than $15 Billion yearly to the United States Economy, Nigeria needs grab the opportunity too. The ICT sector needs right policies, human development, capital investment and infrastructure to make this a reality.With all this in place, Nigeria will move up in ranking among committee of nations with improved GDP. With Nigeria out of recession, this sector provides a viable option of keeping Nigeria out of recession finally.
