Abstract

This study examines the integration of e-governance and restructuring in strengthening the interaction between the Nigerian government and its citizens. The study explores the interplay between e-governance
and restructuring, assessing how digital technologies support the
decentralization of governance and enhance government-citizen interactions. This study is anchored on the Technology Acceptance Model. Data emerged from secondary data sources. The study findings underscore the need for comprehensive policies that promote digital inclusion, strengthen institutional capacities, and enhance citizen engagement to leverage the full potential of e-governance and restructuring in Nigeria. The study concludes that citizens’ involvement through e-governance is a key tool for breaking the old governance conundrum, improving efficiency, and promoting the modernization of national governance systems and capacities. The study recommends that to fully realize the potential of e-governance,
Nigeria must invest in robust digital infrastructure, particularly in rural
and underserved areas. Also, building capacity at all levels of governance and a comprehensive legal and policy framework is essential to support both e-governance and restructuring.
