Small and medium-scale enterprises, ICT adoption, Business performance, economic growth, employment creation.

Small and medium-scale enterprises (SMEs) play a significant role in the Nigerian economy, contributing to economic growth, employment creation, and poverty reduction. However, SMEs in Nigeria face several challenges that hinder their growth and sustainability, including limited access to capital, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of skilled labor. This study aims to investigate the impact of information communication and technology (ICT) adoption on SME performance in Nigeria, with a focus on the satisfaction, effectiveness, improvements, and impact of ICT tools on SMEs. A questionnaire was developed to collect data from SME owners, covering demographics, ICT use and performance, challenges faced in ICT adoption, and overall business performance. The results of this study will provide insights into the potential benefits of ICT adoption in SMEs and help policymakers and stakeholders formulate policies and interventions to support ICT adoption in SMEs, thereby enhancing their performance. The literature review section provides an overview of existing studies on ICT adoption and use in SMEs, the use of ICT and SME performance, the performance of ICT tools and SME performance, and challenges and factors influencing ICT adoption in SMEs.
