Government departments are under increasing pressure to demonstrate technology effectiveness. One approach that government departments can use to be perceived as more technology effective is to understand the Management Information Systems (MIS) maturity issues that affect their departments. There are gaps in the academic literature about how African governments are dealing with the issues of MIS maturity; and this is also applicable to Nigeria. The purpose of this research is to gain a better understanding of some of the MIS maturity concerns of Nigerian Ministries, Department, and Agencies (MDAs). This is important because senior managers and policymakers can more effectively understand the challenges that affect their respective departments and develop context-appropriate policies. This study is quantitative in nature and primary data in the form of questionnaires were collected from 109 key stakeholders from selected Nigerian government departments. The data were analyzed using Factor analysis as a primary tool. The analysis provided a deeper understanding of some of the issues affecting the maturity within the selected Nigerian MDAs. The results of the analysis were used to develop a model that outlines some of the maturity concerns for the selected Nigerian MDAs. The issues that affect MIS maturity in Nigerian MDAs are related to: (1) integration of MIS initiatives, creating MIS vision, implementation of MIS management policies and the development of supportive MIS objectives which influence MIS maturity, (2) robust MIS objectives and robust MIS management that influences service delivery.

尼日利亚公共组织的管理信息系统成熟度问题

政府部门在证明技术有效性方面承受着越来越大的压力。政府部门可以用来被视为更有效的技术的一种方法是了解影响其部门的管理信息系统 (MIS) 成熟度问题。关于非洲政府如何处理 MIS 成熟度问题的学术文献存在差距；这也适用于尼日利亚。这项研究的目的是为了更好地了解尼日利亚各部、部门和机构 (MDA) 对 MIS 成熟度的一些担忧。这很重要，因为高级管理人员和政策制定者可以更有效地了解影响各自部门的挑战，并制定适合具体情况的政策。这项研究本质上是定量的，主要数据以问卷形式从尼日利亚政府部门的 109 名主要利益相关者那里收集而来。使用因子分析作为主要工具分析数据。该分析使人们对影响选定的尼日利亚 MDA 成熟度的一些问题有了更深入的了解。分析结果被用于开发一个模型，该模型概述了选定的尼日利亚 MDA 的一些成熟度问题。影响尼日利亚 MDA 中 MIS 成熟度的问题与：(1) MIS 计划的整合、创建 MIS 愿景、MIS 管理政策的实施以及影响 MIS 成熟度的支持性 MIS 目标的发展，(2) 稳健的 MIS 目标和稳健的影响服务交付的 MIS 管理。
