The study examined the contributions of technology and good governance as a panacea for economic growth in Nigeria using the autoregressive distributed lagged model (ARDL model). The results revealed that in the short run, E-Participation Index Rank (e-PIR) positively (0.155) but insignificantly impacted on Accountability (ACC) and positively (0.225) but significantly on Transparency (TRANS), and negatively (-209.62) but insignificantly on Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP).

It also revealed that Online Service Index (OSI) impacted negatively (-0.565) and significantly on Accountability (ACC) and Transparency (TRANS) (-0.174), but positively (15129.90) and significantly on Real Gross Domestic Product (RGDP). The outcome of the relationship revealed that Nigeria’s technology is still growing and is yet to get to the point to result to high degree of accountability, transparency and ultimately sustained economic growth.

The study recommended that the government of Nigeria should deploy more technology in the public sector to enhance better performance in the public sector and hence economic growth. Basic infrastructure such as electricity must be provided and government should improve internet access and make it affordable and efficient to avoid problems usually associated with its use.

This study also recommended that since E-Participation Index Rank (e-PIR) positively impacted on accountability and transparency, the entire public sector in Nigeria be digitized in order to achieve remarkable degree of accountability and transparency in the public sector in Nigeria. The significance of this research lies in the fact that it revealed that technology can improve accountability and transparency in Nigeria, hence good governance and that when more technology is deployed in the public sector in such a way that it can be sustainable over time, it could enhance economic growth in Nigeria.
