ABSTRACT
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is on the strong hold of every nation of earth because it brings innovation into information seeking and knowledge acquisition. ICT has become a potent force for transformingsocial, economic and political life globally. In an attempt to bridge the “digital divide”, ICT training centre’s ought to have a conducive working environment in addition to the machines and equipment necessary for learning and training purposes. Adequate natural ventilation and light should be provided in ICT centre’s, mechanical means of energy supply should serve as a support facility and not the main and only source of energy in ICT centre’s in the country. This natural means of energy supply will inturn affect the running cost of the ICT centres. Also ICT centre’s lack architectural expression to depict the technological advancements of the era. It is on this premise that this study is embarked upon to identify the role architecture can be used to enhance the efficiency of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector in Nigeria.In view of this, there is need to establish such centre in Ilorin for access to information resource as well as channels of communication to open up government and development process to citizens of the state for everyone to be computer literate.
