Abstract
The Nigerian University System (NUS) comprises forty-two institutions in more than twenty-four states and the Federal capital territory. The Nigerian Universities Network (NUNet), aims to create a linked environment at the national level for access to and distribution of information required by each university through campus-wide voice and data communications networks. The NUNet project will be implemented in phases, for completion in 1999. Other computerized network projects in Nigeria include the Academic Computer Network, the Regional Informatics Network for Africa and the Cooperative Network for Researchers in Agriculture, Health and Education. More investment by the private sector is needed to get the local Internet explosion off the ground and launch Nigeria fully into the Information Age.
