N2  - In the current era of digital transformation, considerable attention has been paid to the
role that digital information plays in shaping academic performance in higher
education institutions. This study explores the complex relationship between the use
of digital information and academic outcomes, with a specific focus on African higher
education institutions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of
how digital information affects student performance and engagement in an academic
context. Using a quantitative research approach, data were collected via surveys
supported by statistical tool. This study examined various aspects of digital
information usage, including information needs, seeking behaviours, sources,
exchange patterns, and user satisfaction. By analysing these factors, this study sought
to identify the key determinants of academic performance that are influenced by the
utilisation of digital information. The findings of this study can inform educational
policymakers, administrators, and practitioners about the importance of incorporating
digital literacy and information management skills into the higher education
curriculum. This study also emphasises the socioeconomic consequences of digital
information access and utilisation in African higher education, taking into account
factors such as Internet connectivity, technological infrastructure, and the digital
divide. By appreciating these contextual factors, educational institutions can create
tailored interventions to support disadvantaged students and bridge this digital divide.
In conclusion, this study highlights the importance of African higher education
institutions in adapting to the ever-changing digital landscape and prioritises the
formulation of strategies that optimise the utilisation of digital information for
educational progress. Through proactive steps and informed interventions, these
institutions can support student learning, foster academic excellence, and position
themselves as leaders in the digital era
