THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS A VIBRANT TOOL FOR EFFECTIVE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT IN NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, ABUJA

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     Background of the Study

The entire world it term a global village because of the ongoing changes and innovation in area of information technology in Nigeria the role of information in various aspect of human Endeavour has made it necessary for government and private sector f the society to seek or adapt the new are of information technology, which reduces to a beeriest minimum level  of the problems encountered and in the old method of information gathering which include data collection, processing, analyzing and interpreting of data, before information is passed for either personal management or public consumption. Information technology has been defined by several schools and researchers, an Olajuwon (edited lecture note) describes it as the discipline encompasses computer system, telecommunication network and multi-media application which are used to pass information from one person to another or group of people with the aim of making a sound management decision.

Information technology as a vibrant tool for effective information management brings large amount of data together in one small place, and uses its tool to process it into information, the tools includes compact disk, which can hold about seven hundred (700) million character of printed text, USB is another technology that have a large capacity than the compact disk. Because of the impact of information and communication technology the National Commission for College of Education (NCCE) has fined it necessary to improve the information need for the commission.

The national commission for college of education is a federal government parastatal that was set up under the decree (now Art) 13 January 1989 amended by Act no: 12 of 1993 as a completion tripod of excellence, the suspension of higher education in the country.

The establishment of the commission was a result of getting effective and quality teachers education by the federal government of Nigeria, the pride of the commission and policy which states that there is no education that can rise above the quality of it’s teachers this is because teachers contribute immeasurably into national development of the country.

They also standardized and review the college curriculums which help to set a standard in NCCE result.

1.2     Statement of the Problems

Every research work is aimed at addressing one problem or the other, there are problems and reasons that necessitate or call for the study as it affect information technology in National Commission for College of Education.

Information technology as a vibrant tool for effective information management is confronted with challenges and problems of some of the staff of the commission see the use of computer as a problem, the goals of information technology have not been achieved in the commission, the commission has not been able to organize courses on its staff and the commission has not been able to achieve the best modern technology.

It is in view of the above facts that the researcher carryout this study to assess the impact of information technology as a vibrant tool for effective information management in National Commission for College of Education, Abuja.
