Global economies of the 21 st century have come to realise that no country can become competitive in terms of trade, industry, manufacturing and service without adopting, deploying, integrating and utilising ICT in various sectors. This paper assessed the level of preparedness of Nigeria for e-commerce using the level of ICT adoption, usage and infrastructure available in the country. Data was sourced from International Telecommunication Unit (ITU) database with a reference period of 13 years (2000 to 2012).
