1.3 Objectives of the Study
The objectives of this study are summarized as follows:
 To develop computerized software that automatically stores and retrieves all information on human population.
 To develop a reliable system that could be used in collecting data/information on human population.
 To develop a system that will support direct access to the specific and required information
1.4 Significant of the Project
 The system will solve problem associated with the acquisition, storage, and retrieval of information on human population with ease.
 A timely retrieval of information is anticipated with efficiency and reliability.
 It will provide security to data that are unauthorized, users will not gain access to those files and fraud will be minimized in the society which will lead to improvement in administration processes.
1.5 Scope of the Project
The major aim of the project is to design a system that will have all information about human population and retrieving of data when ever needed in the society. It focuses on the registration, retrieval and management of information about individuals in the society.
1.6 Limitation of Study
During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are;
 Lack of finance
 Refusal of the National Population Commission Awka, to give detailed answers and in some cases no answer at all to some questions
 This project is limited to all the data associated with census population figure gotten from the National Population Commission.
 Due to time factor, not all the commissions were reached for source of data and information.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTThe researcher chose to research on this topic “Computer Based Census ManagementSystem†because of its relevance to the society. Meanwhile, the manual method so far has its attendant problem of being tedious. The researcher, in order to solve this time consuming, monotonous, and repetitive manual census activities went into a thorough study of the existing system. In the report proper, the Structured System Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) was adopted and explained. Th ... Continue reading---
