Abstract

The paper examines the dichotomy between the manual and electronic records management practices in Southwestern Nigerian universities, especially in this era of global village, where Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) have become the pivotal tool in carrying out business in any organization. Despite this narrative, the university system still finds it difficult to completely migrate from traditional paper record-keeping to electronic records. Related literatures were reviewed. Primary and secondary data were utilised. Primary data were collected through the administration of questionnaires and in-depth interviews, while secondary data were sourced through existing literature. The paper revealed that both traditional/manual and electronic/digital means are used interchangeably in the records management of Southwestern Nigerian universities. The paper highlighted some recommendations and concluded that various records management practices used in the registries of universities in Southwestern Nigeria are manual and electronic record management practices. Universities in South-western Nigeria combine both traditional and modernized record management practices in their registries.
