At age 50 of nationhood, Nigeria ought to earn a place among comity of developed nations because of her early education histories, abundant natural and human capital resources. This paper is to explore the possibility of Nigeria becoming a member ofthe first 20 largest economies globally by the year 2020. By the stipulations of the Millennium Development Goal (MDG), Nigeria ought to attain literacy for all by 2015. Only a well-articulated, aggressive ICT culture can get the country to her target dreams. Nigeria must pursue an educational philosophy that will meet our local needs and can compete favourably with international standards: this is only feasible through the doctrines of ICT. ICT will provide our educational system with functional literacy, scientific, technical and data-based structure, standards and profiling. ICT culture in our educational system will pave way for computer-assisted learning, online education, e-banking, e-marketing and exchange, and will enhance distant education. ICT’s prodigy is evident in Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), which is being used by about 60% of Nigerians. Finally, digitalization is the possibility of ICT and we would experience economic spur through ICT.
