This study explores the current state of egovernment planning and strategic models in Nigeria, identifying challenges and successful initiatives. Analysis of existing e-governance infrastructure, identification of key stakeholders, development of institutional and legal frameworks, and investment in human and financial resources are identified as essential elements for successful e-governance implementation. The proposed strategic model outlines steps for analysis, stakeholder identification, strategic planning goal setting, implementation and evaluation, and promotion of citizen participation. The study highlights challenges such as limited access to internet and electricity, inadequate funding, and low citizen awareness and participation. Successful initiatives include the National Identity Management Commission's biometric identification system and Lagos State's online tax and permit platform. This study provides valuable insights for Nigeria's growing economy and its potential for enhancing government efficiency, accountability, and citizen participation through e-government.
