A follower of this thread requested for a sample of my work. I do not provide a copy of client's work for confidentiality reason. However, I will upload the write-up that a writing company asked me to write in 2014 as a prerequisite for employment. I wrote the work under stringent time frame and not perfect. In fact, I could spot shortcomings in it now but I will upload it that way for learning purpose. I will add as an attachment and also paste here. Pasting here is for those that might find it difficult dealing with attachment. Some people are using mobile phone only to assess this thread. I will not deny them the opportunity to view the work. Warning: Viewing it with word document app is the best. Here is the work. Intended citation style (Harvard). IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ON NIGERIA That information is very important in national development is a fact that has been attested to by many researchers and authors (Ogunsola and Aboyade, 2005, p 7; Olawepo and Joseph, 2014; Aliu and Isa, 2014). There seems to be a general consensus that information; its quality, effectiveness of its dissemination and use is key to the development of nations including Nigeria. According to Muhammed (1994), information is the vital resource that provides impetus for a nation’s social, cultural, spiritual, political, economic, scientific and technological advancement as well as effective governance and followership. Information technology (IT) however, refers to “a technology which uses computer to gather, process, store, protect, and transfer information” (ITdesk.info, 2011, p.1). Information Technology according to West (2004) includes the movable-type printing press in the fifteenth century, the telegraph in 1844, the telephone in 1876, the radio that emanated in the 1920s and coast-to-coast television broadcasting in 1946 to the present day computer systems, internet facilities and various communication gadgets. Although the use of information technology predates Nigeria’s independence in 1960, the scope and intensity of its use generally increased in early 20th century. This development is linked to deregulation of the telecommunication industry in 2001 by the then newly elected civilian government led by General Olusegun Obasanjo which saw the emergence of telecommunication giants like MTN and Econet PLC displaced the now moribund Nigeria Telecommunication Limited (NITEL). This view is shared by Ogunsola and Aboyade (2009). This deregulation is traceable to the development of the National Policy for Information Technology (NPIT) which is a general policy for the development of IT (or more broadly, information and communication technologies) in Nigeria. The policy, according to Diso (2005, 295), “represents the perceptions of the Federal Government of Nigeria on ICTs, what they do and can do, how they can be developed and applied, and the time frame within which to achieve ICT capability in Nigeria by 2005”. That the scope and intensity of use of information technology have broadened over the years seems to be agreed upon by researchers but its impact on Nigeria as a country still remains a subject of discourse requiring further appraisal. This write-up is intended to contribute to knowledge in this area. Impact assessment of information technology on Nigeria would ideally require broad-based information representative of almost, if not all sectors of the Nigeria State which is beyond the scope of this write-up. This view is corroborated by Aliu and Isa (2014) who submitted that “to appreciate how prudently information technology has affected us as individuals and as a nation, there is the need to first understand that societies we live in are complex structures of people and institutions interacting in multiple way” and for which information technology may impact in a uniquely different ways. This suggests the importance of comprehensive and holistic approach to assessing information technology impact. Notwithstanding, the impact can be reasonably assessed by qualitative assessment of trends in Information Technology use and how key sectors respond to it. This write-up, because of its limited scope as well as the complexities of assessing impact in a complex nation-state, will look at the impact of technology in two of the major areas of national development including education and public service by making reference to what obtained in the last millennium and now. It is evident that information technology has influenced education in Nigeria since the advent of the new millennium. It is no longer unusual to see teachers and students own personal computers and use it in lesson preparation, studying and in a host of other educational activities. Information Technology has promoted distance learning in Nigeria. A good example of where information technology (computer and internet connectivity) has helped in education is the case of the National Open University of Nigeria where students can register, download textbooks and even sit for the examination in various designated ICT center across the country. It has also revolutionized the way examinations are conducted by major examination bodies in the country. The recent stride of the Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB) in moving from the traditional Paper Pencil Test (PPT) to Computer Based Test (CBT) is an indication of the revolutionary trend in education, made possible by the adoption of Information Technology. Another area of the Nigeria state that has benefited from information technology is public service delivery. Although “the impact of new technology on information access, government service delivery, and public attitudes about government has long been debated by observers” (West, 2004), it cannot be argued that the technology has not revolutionized the way government services are rendered (at least changes are noticeable in the medium used). Many government agencies now own and operate official websites where services are rendered online to millions of people locally and internationally. This has tendency to reduce overhead cost of running government business freeing up resources for other uses. Apart of the monetary gains by the government, the convenience usually experienced in accessing government service signifies positive impact. This was not so in the last millennium. Judging from the submissions above, it is clear that information technology has revolutionized (impacted) the public service delivery as well as education in Nigeria. This impact seems positive and a welcome development. References: Aliu, M.B., and Isa, A.O. 2014. The role of information technology in nation building: the Librarian’s perspective.

The write-up above is not provided for showmanship but to trigger criticism, discussion and show how thoughts can be organised in academic writing while providing references. Like I said, I can spot shortcomings in grammar, punctuation, lexis and structure but overall, it provides a typical way of handling academic write-ups. |

feminineA: I want people to spot it. This is meant to be a discussion. In fact, I'll like you to read carefully and spot errors. I will only point to errors after a thorough discussion on it so that we can all learn. I also want to learn from the expert in the house. You see, it is a symbiotic relationship. You learn, I also learn. 1 Like |

Valentinooo:. It is risky but you may be able to manage the two. You cannot, however, link your account (e.g. payoneer, paypal etc) to both account. I do not really have knowledge about it because I have not done that before. Perhaps, people with knowledge about it could enlighten us. |

I see the referencing style is not properly done. It appears you intend to use APA style of reference but this is not properly done. Please note the following: The date after the authors' names should be in bracket; italicising the title of the book you are quoting and the name of the journal if it is journal; indenting the second line, etc. These is my little observation subject to further scrutiny.

@ IGALA4LIFE Italicising the title of the book you are quoting This is correct for book in APA style ...and the name of the journal if it is journal This is also correct for Journal article in APA style. ; indenting the second line, etc. This is also correct. These is my little observation subject to further scrutiny. Thank you for your observation. Note: The Harvard and the APA styles are very close (only few differences). Putting the year in bracket is one of the very few differences between the two styles. |
