The research work borders on e-government and environmental bonuses in Nigeria and United Kingdom The study
examines whether the use of online government services could produce significant savings in the use of papers, filing
cabinets, folders and shelves in offices. The study specifically seeks to find out whether there is significant difference in Egovernment
adoption on paper usage and pollution reduction between Nigeria and United Kingdom. A survey study research
method was adopted where 24 federal ministry activities in Nigeria was compared with that of the United Kingdom with the
use of the secondary method of data collection. Levene’s test of equality of variances based on F-value and T-test were used
for the data analysis based on statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 15. The result showed a statistical non-significant
relationship between e-government adoption in Nigeria and UK. The statistical non-significance could be attributed to nonimplementation
of e-government in Nigeria. The research also revealed that there is significant difference in E-government
adoption on paper usage and pollution reduction between Nigeria and United Kingdom. This therefore shows that Nigeria
requires policies to speed the processes for implementing e-government in its agencies to save paper work, filing cabinets,
folders, shelves in offices, boost productivity, make information sharing easier, and generally help the environment. Based
on the foregoing, the study recommends that the Nigerian government should increase the use of the internet among its
citizens that will later transform into widespread usage of e-government. This process will help the government improve on
the revenue generation while at the same time deliver its promises to the electorate while contributing to environmental
savings. The contribution of this research to literature and knowledge is that e-government has been able to reduce the
environmental impact of papers, save cost, boost productivity, make information sharing easier, and generally help the
environment
