Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is the bedrock for national survival and development in a rapidly changing global environment, and challenges us to devise bold and courageous initiatives to address a host of vital socio-economic issues such as reliable infrastructure, skilled human resources, open government and other essential issues of capacity building. In addition, an Information and Communication Technology policy built on reliable human resources and infrastructure constitutes the fundamental tool and means of assessing, planning, managing development change and for achieving sustainable growth. It is on this premise that this paper seeks to empirically investigate the extent of deployment of sustainable ICT infrastructure in Nigeria in order to ascertain its impact on the development of the nation in general. With proper deployment of these devices a lot of gains would be accrued to the nation because the country would have positively responded to the emerging global reality and thus avert becoming a victim of the digital divide.A developing nation like Nigeria that aspires to participate effectively and become a key player in the emerging Information Age needs to have in place, a highly efficient Information and Communication Technology system driven by a vibrant national IT policy. This could be achieved through the availability of the required supporting Infrastructure and capacity building.
