THE ROLE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY IN ACHIEVING COMMUNICATION EFFICIENCY IN NIGERIA

ABSTRACT This global modern technologies in the nineties had been such a glaring and widely exciting experience.  This leaves no body even a Thomas in doubt of what situation and trend will look like even as we are now in the 21st century. Expectedly, there will be an era of complete and total information revolutionary Age.  This period which is entire world finds themselves how is a peculiar and highly sophisticated communication age that is characterized  by a “Net-compact technology”. In this topic of study , the role of modern technologies in achieving communication efficiency, its very unfortunate and most painful that as the rest of the world are now in the modern information technology, Nigeria and in fact the whole of African continent is still so abysmally bondaged and far from this information paradise  and communication age.  This study aims at assessing critically the function of modern technologies in the course  of acheving efficiency in communication in Nigeria.  One  can therefore review that the contention was that instead of moving ahead with others, we had decided to go backwards and abysmally into the remote ancestral enclave of our fore fathers. The statistical instrument used in deriving the sample size is the questionnaire which was distributed randomly to some students in tertiary institutions, civil servants and also some communication executives. Nigeria needs to be in line with modern technologies in the race towards achieving efficiency in communication.  And therefore, it recommended that Nigeria government should start to support some information and communication programmes and projects which will be capable of turning round the communication culture turning round the communication culture to the yearnings and aspirations of Nigerians.
