Banking organizations have historically stood out as essential services providers. As a means of coping with the demands the information-intensive nature of the banking system, modern banks increasingly employ Information and Communication Technology (ICT) for operations. In Nigeria the proposed cashless economy, has further intensified the quest for ICT among banks. This study therefore focuses on the challenges of ICT application in the Nigerian Banking System. Data were collected through a survey, conducted among employees and customers of randomly selected, new and old generation banks in south-eastern Nigeria. Analysis reveals that security and fraud issues associated with e-banking, ranked highest among challenges confronting ICT application in banks. No significant difference was found among study organizations with regards to views on ICT based challenges in the banking system. Since this state of affairs would greatly hinder the success of the proposed cashlite society, the study recommends among other things that banks and relevant stakeholders in the sector must work in synergy to prevent security breaches in ebanking operations.

The study aims to investigate the attitudes of Nigerian postgraduate students towards information and communication technology (ICT) and their perceived competence in using ICT resources for research purpose. The influence of field of studies on their competence and attitude were also examined. A total of 77 Nigerian postgraduate students at a university in Malaysia were randomly selected for the study. Data collected through questionnaires were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistic approaches. The analysis reveals that majority of the postgraduate students have positive attitude towards ICT and they perceive that they are competent in using several basic ICT tools. There is no significant difference between science and non-science based postgraduate students’ attitudes, however, there is significant difference in their perceived competence. This paper concludes that the postgraduate students require more hands-on experiences and special training programs so that they can maximize the use of ICT for research purpose. It is hoped that the findings revealed in this study will help the policy makers in designing necessary courses to improve the quality of postgraduates in the country.Keywords: Information and communication technology, Malaysia, Nigerian student, postgraduate, students’ attitudeCite as: Bichi, A.A., Embong, R., & Rashid, R.A.
