Information Communication Technology has become a veritable tool for Human development. However, despite its numerous advantages in the realm of Utility, yet it has inherent consequences that portend ills in the realm of good governance and national security. In conclusion, considering the foregoing, ICT plays "dual" roles in good governance and national security. Besides, its effectiveness in our dear country cannot be underestimated in view of the globalization trends. These are examined in this paper with recommendations on how the negative consequences could be addressed to enhance good governance and a stable polity.

It should be noted that unemployment has thrown many youths to take up arms as arm robbers or join the insurgents as a means of survival. If government open jobs in various sectors of the Nigerian economy coupled with zero level for corruption and bribery, good governance will yield the desired results
