DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP INFORMATION SYSTEM

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF NYSC ORIENTATION CAMP INFORMATION SYSTEM

(A CASE STUDY NYSC AWGU)

ABSTRACT

This Project Design and Implementation of Orientation Camp Information System (A Case Study of NYSC Orientation Camp Awgu ) was designed to eliminate the problems associated with manual handling of information at the Orientation Camp such as: data redundancy, time wastage etc. The Design and Implementation was carried out using the top down software development approach. The tools used to implement this project are VB.Net and SQL Server.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The national youth service corps (NYSC) is an organization set by the Nigerian government to involve the country’s graduates in the development of the country. There is no military conscription in Nigeria, but since 1973 graduates of universities and later polytechnics have been required to take part in the national youth service corps (NYSC) program for one year. This is known as national service year, corps members are posted to cities far from their city of origin. They are expected to mix with people of other tribes, social and family backgrounds, to learn the culture of the indigenes in the place they are posted to.

This action is aimed to bring about unity in the country and to help youth appreciate other ethnic groups. There is an orientation period of approximately three weeks spent in a camp away from family and friends. After the orientation process corps members are posted to the areas of primary assignment. There is also a passing out ceremony at the end of the year. The program has also helped in creating entry-level jobs for a lot of Nigerian youths.

An NYSC forum dedicated to NYSC members was recently built to bridge the gap amongst members serving across Nigeria and also serves as an avenue for corps members to share job information and career resources as well as get loans from the national directorates of employment.

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

The NYSC is faced with the following problems due to their manual method of handling information:

1. Poor handling of corps members’ information
2. Time wastage in searching for information
3. Data redundancy

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The objectives of this project are as follows:

1. To design an information system that makes data access easy for corps members.
2. To design a system that can automatically post corps members to their areas of primary assignment.
3. To design a system that can help the NYSC management to supervise corps members.

1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

The good reason why this project is done is to provide an efficient method of handling corps members’ data at the orientation.

1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This project covers the design and implementation of information system for the NYSC orientation camp (A case study of Awgu)

I.6 PROJECT REPORT ORGANIZATION

The project is organized as follows:
Chapter one of this project reports gives the detailed introduction of the project. Chapter two gives a review of the related literature. Chapter three covers the methodology, data collection, analysis of existing system, limitation of the existing system, system design, the database design, system flowchart and the top down design. Chapter four covers implementation, testing and integration. Chapter five gives the summary, limitations of the project, recommendation, bill of engineering measurement and evaluation (BEME) and conclusion.

CHAPTER TWO
LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 AN OVERVIEW OF NIGERIA YOUTH SERVICE CORPS

The national youth service corps (NYSC) scheme was established by the then head of state, general Yakubu Gowon in Nigeria on 22nd of may, 1973.

By the year 2000, years after the decree enabling its establishment was promulgated, a large and diverse segment of the Nigerian population as well as notable people around the world, commended its establishment and eulogized its operations and achievement, especially its momentous role in promoting national unity, integration and rapid economic development of Nigeria. The Nigeria’s former head of state general Yakubu Gowon, who promulgated the NYSC decree in 1973, recalled that the scheme which some ill motivated persons tried to write off at inception, has since grown to such a level of national importance and acceptance to the extent that no one can today speaks of national unity, or rural development, without mentioning the NYSC. Also speaking during a public lecture organized in Abuja on June 4, 1998, to mark the silver jubilee of
