| Abstract: | Information governance (IG) embraces underlying necessities to organize information using consistent method for meeting organizational needs. This demand has proliferated over the past few years to any organization, including universities. However, due to the poor nature of information management systems in Nigerian universities, there is a significant need to explore the possibilities of IG implementation. Even though various factors affect IG success, these have not been investigated yet, particularly in the context of the Nigerian university system. The objective of this study is to identify key factors necessary for IG implementation in universities. A qualitative research using a case study approach was used with a semi-structured interview technique to elicit findings from the domain of information and record management in case universities. Findings were qualitatively analyzed using ATLAS-ti 7.0 software for developing meaningful interpretations. Research findings embraced key factors including user expertise, funding, technology; org. facilities, and security, which are the necessities of leading to successful IG implementation. |
