| Abstract: This study examines the nexus between corporate governance practices and the deployment of information technology (IT) in the Lagos State Civil Service Commission between 2019 to 2025. The research adopts a qualitative approach, these qualitative techniques provide a comprehensive understanding of how governance structures influence the adoption, management, and effectiveness of IT systems within the public service. Qualitative data were generated from key informant interviews and document analysis of relevant policy reports, circulars, and strategic plans. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret the findings. The results indicate a significant relationship between corporate governance practices such as accountability, transparency, leadership commitment, and regulatory compliance and the level of IT deployment in the Commission. Effective governance frameworks were found to enhance strategic IT planning, improve resource allocation, and strengthen monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, thereby facilitating the successful implementation of digital platforms for personnel management and service delivery. Conversely, weak enforcement of governance principles and bureaucratic bottlenecks were identified as key challenges limiting optimal IT utilisation. The study concludes that robust corporate governance practices are critical to sustaining effective IT deployment in the Lagos State Civil Service Commission. It recommends the strengthening of governance structures, continuous capacity building for public officials, and the alignment of IT initiatives with institutional governance objectives to improve efficiency, transparency, and overall public sector performance in Lagos State. |
