The goals of e – learning and distance learning towards the educational development of Nigerian Public Service cannot be overemphasized, hence the need to create more awareness on how to acquire higher academic knowledge on the work using e – learning and distance learning technologies. This paper therefore, examines the level of ICT and e – learning literate, assesses the level of e- learning utilization by the Nigerian public servants as well as to ascertain the percentage of public servants that has got their highest educational qualifications using one form of e – learning or the other between 2010 to 2013. The survey was done using random sampling of 10 different federal government agencies and 5 public secondary schools in Abuja Municipal and Kuje Area Councils all located in FCT Abuja. 200 questionnaires were administered randomly to the staff of these agencies. The responses were collated and analyzed using two computer packages and inferential statistics. The study reveals that many public servants are becoming aware of e- learning and distance learning owing to the fact that different types of phones are now in Nigerian market. The study further shows that many public servants are now taking advantage of the e – learning and distance learning programme to upgrade their academic status without necessarily leaving their duty post. It is strongly recommended that government agencies should advise their staff to always take advantage of e – learning and distance learning programme whenever they want to proceed on further studies instead of leaving their duty post for full-time studies.
