The paper cursorily examined E-Governance and Effective Task Delivery of Staff in public institutions in Nigeria, a select of Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola Port Harcourt. It sees e-governance as luxury in part, and a necessity in the other. The paper considered that public institutions such as the listed area of concern could implement e-governance to enhance its staff effective task delivery. Areas of implementation of e-governance included digital correspondence management. E-governance is possible only upon the availability of internet, its ancillaries such as wifi, local networking, resource sharing. The Paper aligned its philosophy to the theories of Diffusion Innovation by Joseph A. Schumpeter and the Modernization Theory by Max Weber. Based on the x-rayed reviews and scholarly empiricism the paper summed that e-governance is a major contemporary evolution which has to be implemented to the letter by the management and Council of the Polytechnic. Full implementation of e-governance in Captain Elechi Amadi, would ensure electronic management of documents, e-payments, whether for vendors or students. It would encourage digitalized routine administration. Staff and student’s records, including personnel tracking, students, transcripts may be processed, consummated digitally, reducing delays. The paper proffered among others that Staff of the Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic should involve more in self-development, especially on digital skills and that Management of Captain of Elechi Amadi Polytechnic should train and retrain staff in the use of or implementation of e-governance at intermittent or reasonable periods, among others.
