Abstract

The usefulness and meaningfulness of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), cannot be overemphasized in attaining organizational growth and survivability. Several organizations have over the years benefited assiduously from the integration of ICT tools in their organizational processes. The neglect within the manufacturing sector has facilitated this research with the aim of ascertaining the ICT maturity based on Kochikar model. Quantitative and qualitative questionnaires were developed and distributed to several manufacturing organizations withi Edo state, Nigeria. Preceeding data analysis, it was identified that the manufacturing sector still sits within The BASIC level of the Kochikar model. Therefore rapid and prompt integration are necessary to facilitate assiduous improvement.
