CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The
manual ways of sourcing, processing, storing and general handling of
information by Imo State Government is a kind of cumbersome time
consuming and at peak delayance during project tracking, file finding
when needed in the office, considering high level of bureaucracy adopted
by governments in this part of the world with Imo State as a reference
point. As this ugly development proceeds, during record keeping and
other valuable files and information, therefore this usage of computers
tracking projects and information was formed as it becomes imperative
for improved information storage and tracking, stores large amounts of
information, reduces so much paper work in various offices,
institutions, organizations and ministries under Imo State Government.
It also enables smooth distributions and enlarges information via
transferring of files through computer networks. This would go along way
assisting Imo State Government to take vital decision makings when it
is due for it.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Be it in
government, private sector, institution, business etc. the usage of this
manual method of information storage, organization and retrieval is
always the talk of the day. This therefore poses a lot of problems which
are as follows.
1. Inability to know when projects are awarded.
2. Inability to know when to receive projects.
3. Poor checkmating of project awarded.
· Abnormal documentation of project statistics
4. Poor documentation, security in the offices, institutions etc.
1.3 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY
The research work is founded on the following objectives and they are described thus;
· To build an application that will store, process and activate information about all the projects awarded.
·
To design and develop an application package that will be useful for
the tracking of project information for Imo State Government. This
design is made from a specification and office procedure that allow its
development for Imo State government.
· Software that watches all projects step by step.
· Software that will secure and enhance adequate project security when used.
· Application that keeps tracking of projects and it statistics.
1.4 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This
project entirely covers specifically the projects and its information
with focus on the design and development of application prototypes meant
to be deployed in tracking information as well as storage and retrieval
respectively.
1.5 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The importance
of this study to Imo State Government is tremendous as it will go along
way in making great impacts on our state pride and social tolerance.
However,
this will ensure that accurate information is kept and this application
will be capable of making our sate transparent in her profit dealings.
This therefore goes a long wall in encouraging the stability of Imo
State Government during project execution and can also be used by the
government to attract more federal government projects considering the
high sense of good project tracking system in use.

ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]We all are aware of errors and losses of funds and man-power arising from non-continuity of project ranging from one administration to another. This primarily comes or results from the deficiency associated with manual storage and processing of project information in project tracking information in the state, therefore this computer base project tracking information system of government projects all over the state from development stage to completion stage keeps awarded projects and information ...
