The advent of cloud computing is bringing on a new epoch to alter the way government happens. It brings out people to the 4IR; pivotal roles are played in this regard regarding reshaping of e-governance by making a way for better service delivery as well as managing data as well as making contact with citizens. Governments may efficiently go on to become more transparent through improved performance while reducing their usage of resources and the costs incurred by exploiting these technological advances in clouds. Key cloud computing aspects are IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. These will be focused on applications for e-governance frameworks. Integration of AI, big data analytics, and Internet of Things within the cloud environment will also be explored to demonstrate how these innovations contribute toward better smart governance solutions. The paper identifies some challenges and barriers that may be in the way of adopting cloud computing by governments on issues relating to data security and privacy, among others. Overall, this review offers an e-governance future strategy embracing cloud computing as one of the basic components of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Below are some recommendations for policymakers to give vision to an all-inclusive, efficient, and transparent governance system.
