English abstract

Having identified ICT production as the component of the ICT revolution that can enhance true socio-economic development to developing countries like Nigeria. This paper provides a way to achieving this by closely examining what ICT production entails and positioned that since ICT production is closely related to science, engineering/ technology, a more meaningful policy implementation in the area of technological growth and Science & Technology education is desirable. The paper is aimed at suggesting the redesigning of the Universal Basic Education (UBE) policy to inculcate ICT production knowledge into Nigerian child from the primary school level if our dream of ICT for development be fulfilled.
