Abstract
This research study examines the factors that influence adoption of ICT in an organisation that regulates tertiary education in Nigeria based on UTAUT model. Loading factor and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) were used to validate the model. The results of the study show that social factors have positive significant impact on the intention to adopt ICT. The study found that organisational, economic and individual factors are not statistically significant with intention to adopt ICT. This suggests that public organisations should encourage use of social networks to perform their mandates and encourage employees to interact freely to enhance their skills.
