ABSTRACT
 
 The essence of this research work was to evaluation of the role of the interne in elevating communication efficiency in Nigeria. It is not an attempt to know whether or not the internet has penetrated Nigeria, but a critical assessment of the role of the internet in promoting an effective communication in Nigeria in the least five years.
 The objectives of the study is therefore
 1.  To analysis the impact of the internet as a communication 
      technology in Nigeria in the least five years.
 2. To ascertain the level of the internet usage in Nigeria
 3. T o find out some of the hindrances to the usage of the 
     internet as a means of communication.
 4. T o suggest the possible way of improving internet services in 
     Nigeria.
 Both primary and secondary data were used, in order to accomplish the purpose of research. Some research questions were formulated based on the following objectives, and questionnaire comprising the statement s from the research questions were prepared as well. Interviews as a primary date source, textbooks, journals, and on line seminars as  secondary sources.
 At the end, some of the major findings from the analysis are
 1. That the internet has been a great facilitator of communication  
     efficiency in Nigeria.
 2. That Nigeria internet usage is fairly okay when compared to its 
     usage in the western world.
 3. That computer illiteracy, ignorance, poor telecommunication  
     services, overcharging, constant power outage, were identified 
     as some of the hindrances to internet usage in Nigeria.
 
 Finally, it was observed that the prospect of internet usage in Nigeria is very bright in terms of achieving communication efficiency in the years to come, if only Government and private institution will provide the needed infrastructure, training, legal and regulatory frame work that will foster internet use in Nigeria.
