Security is a fundamental pillar for the stability and development of societies worldwide. EGovernance
policy, which involves the use of digital tools and technologies in government
operations, has emerged as a critical strategy for addressing modern security challenges. This
study investigates the effect of E-Governance policy on security in Nigeria. The sample was
drawn from 806 personnel of the Police Intelligence Department (FID), comprising the
Intelligence Response Team (IRT) and Special Tactical Squad (STS) located at the force
headquarters in FCT, Abuja. Multiple regression analysis and descriptive statistics were
employed to achieve the study’s objectives. The major findings reveal that digital incidence
reporting systems (DIRS) have a significant positive relationship with security; digital forensic
tools (DFT) have a significant positive relationship with security; and CCTV surveillance
systems have a significant positive relationship with security. The study concludes that if the
Nigerian government focuses on providing digital incidence reporting systems, digital forensic
tools, and CCTV surveillance systems, it will lead to an improved security situation in the
country. It is recommended that the government at all levels allocate sufficient resources for the
procurement, maintenance, and upgrade of these digital tools and systems. Additionally, the
study recommends that the Nigerian government partner with international organizations and
experts to provide specialized training and certification programs for Nigerian security
personnel. Furthermore, the government should establish continuous monitoring and evaluation
mechanisms to assess the performance and impact of digital incidence reporting systems, digital
forensic tools, and CCTV surveillance.
