This study looks on the National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) Headquarters in Abuja, Nigeria's adoption of cloud computing technology for information management. Even with computerization and resource automation available, NIMC still faces many obstacles that impair data security and operational effectiveness. These difficulties include low power supplies, unstable WAN/LAN connections, inadequate maintenance, a lack of personnel with computer literacy, and inadequate funding for information technologies. Using a cross-sectional survey design and semi-structured interviews with key IT staff members at NIMC, the study uses a qualitative research approach to collect data on the ICT infrastructure that is currently in place, how it affects service delivery, and the difficulties that come with adopting cloud computing. The results show that NIMC is mostly dependent on local servers and a restricted WAN/LAN infrastructure, both of which are vulnerable to disruptions from external variables, power outages, and device malfunctions. The need for a more dependable and secure network infrastructure was brought up by the participants; cloud computing may be able to meet this need. At NIMC, cloud computing adoption is still in its infancy, nevertheless, with considerable obstacles to wider implementation including the requirement for specific technical skills and limited funding. Major advantages of cloud computing were mentioned as improved data security, lower long-term expenses, and increased operational efficiency due to less maintenance required of technology. The study suggests that NIMC look for more funding sources to support cloud computing investment, conduct in-depth cost-benefit analyses, upgrade network infrastructure and security measures, implement comprehensive technical training programs, and create a strategic plan for cloud computing adoption in phases based on these findings. By utilizing cloud computing technologies effectively, these ideas seek to improve NIMC's data security, operational effectiveness, and service delivery.
