Abstract: Evidences have shown that most projects in developing countries fails at an alarming rate probably due to lack of consideration for critical success factors that are needed in the project management process. In this study, organisational culture is highlighted as one of these factors and its effect on the success of information communication technology infrastructure in three higher educational institutions in Nigeria, was examined. By making use of the cross-sectional survey, research data were elicited from 63 employees/project managers who are deemed as stakeholders to this infrastructure. From the analysis that was conducted, it was discovered based on the perception of these respondents that the ICT infrastructures in these institutions meets and surpasses expectations. Put in another way, these infrastructures may be classified as a success. Additionally, a positive relationship was uncovered between organisational culture and project success which means that project success may be improved by concentrating on manipulating the culture that prevails in an organisational environment. Having this in mind, recommendations were made for organisations to view culture as a veritable tool for enhancing project success.
