Philosophiae Doctor - PhD (Library and Information Studies) / The study investigated the information behaviour of Nigerian undergraduates with a focus on
online media, especially Web 2.0. Nigeria has a laudable vision tagged Nigeria Vision
20:2020 (NV 20:2020), which is to be one of the top 20 knowledge economies by the year
2020. To achieve this grand feat, the nation requires a skilled population with 21st century
graduate attributes who are information literate. That is, graduates who possess the
competencies and high capabilities to effectively use and disseminate information for
optimum service delivery in this epoch of information proliferation and technologies that are
yet evolving. To ascertain the preparedness of Nigeria for the laudable Vision 20:2020, the
research work investigated the information behaviour of Nigerian undergraduates using a
specialized university, the Federal University of Petroleum Resources, Effurun, as the case
study site. The university was established in 2007 to meet the demands of the petroleum
industry which is the largest in Nigerian in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
