Abstract:

 The relevance of the public sector to socio-economic development in any nation cannot be underestimated. This has been re-echoed in the 2007 World Development Report which argued that “an effective public sector is vital for the provision of the goods and services – and the rules and nstitutions – that allow markets to flourish and the people to lead healthier, happier lives. Without it,sustainable development, both economic and social, is impossible” (World Bank, 2007). However, the public sector was not able to perform its function effectively. This has have prompted and driven radical changes in public administration and management systems. Information Communication Technology (ICT) have been recognized as an effective tool that can help government reinvent itself, run cheaply, faster, better and produce new outcome (Heeks,1999), this new approach is what has become known  as E-governance. This study therefore examined the effects of E-governance on Public Sector Service Delivery in Nigeria, focusing on the e-Driving Licensing scheme in Enugu metropolis from 2011- 2015.
The survey method was used in this study. Simple percentage/frequency distribution table and weighted
mean was used to measure the direction of the perception of the respondents. Secondary data was used
to test the hypothesis formulated for this study. Correlation coefficient was used to measure the relationship between the dependent and independent variables under study. The test of statistics was used to test the hypothesis to either reject or accept it. Finding from this study reveals that E-licensing has not improved the driver license application system since inception; the e- licensing scheme has not reduced the normal procurement waiting time; the e-licensing scheme has reduced the rate of road traffic offenders and E-licensing has led to a significant improvement in the reduction of road traffic accidents. The study recommended that ict education should be promoted; Provision of user-friendly service and Set up outreach programs to train citizens.
