Abstract: This study examines the challenges faced by lecturers in Nigerian higher education institutions when adopting and using e-learning platforms. Through virtual interviews conducted with 12 university lecturers across six regions, the research identifies several key obstacles: unreliable internet connectivity, frequent power outages, and limited access to technological resources. Additionally, inadequate training and institutional support are noted as significant barriers. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the qualitative data, revealing patterns and common themes related to these challenges. The study suggests that improving internet and power infrastructure, along with enhancing training and technical support, are crucial strategies for overcoming these issues. The findings emphasize the need for targeted interventions to create a more supportive environment for e-learning, aiming to improve the educational experience for both lecturers and students.
