Introduction

In this information age, coupled with the complex nature of increasingly large modern organizations such as the universities, there is the need for acquisition of appropriate information equipment to process data into information and disseminate the information for management use, towards effective university administration. Information is an important resource in the effective management of any organization. Information is based on facts, which is useful in making a specific decision among alternative courses of action. The information potential of data is enhanced by refinement, which involves selection, processing, sorting, and re-organizing the data into a usable form and transmission to the appropriate end-users. So, there exists a need for an effective Information System.
