    The Function of Information Technology (IT) in the Success and Failures of Local Government Governance



    General Introduction

    1.1 Background Of The Study

    Manipulating records and office activities in any organization even the government has been conducted in different spheres using different technologies that may suite at the time nevertheless different means of carrying out office operation have evolved to facilitate communication and data processing activities. Information technology so far stands as the most useful means of office management. ICT speeds up the flow of information and its use in decision-making (Ahmed et al, 2006).

    In a government organization there are data to be collected, processed and stored for reference purposes. Conducting these operations manually creates many protocols that delay office job delivery. As such, officials sought means to better their operations by using new technological means that will hasten office activities and speed up data processing. To achieve this, information technology (IT) is being employed.

    Information technology involves the use of computers and software to manage information in some firms or organizations, this is referred to as management information system or MIS or simply as information system (IS). The information technology department of any organization is responsible for storing , protecting, processing and transmitting the information as necessary, and later retrieve the information when needed.

    The aim of this research project is to develop a system that will enhance effective usage if IT in local governance.


    1.2 Statement Of The Problem

    The streaming trend in which clients quest for the execution of their different jobs in a local government councils is becoming alarming. record kept in different units in the council are being requested for and is demanded to be delivered without error and on time.

With this, there are bound to be problems at different levels. However, managers and secretaries sought means of satisfying their clients without delay of their jobs. Using a suitable technological means is their pursuit. These are what makes up the statement of problem of this research.


    1.3 Purpose Of The Study

    The purpose of this study is to design a system that will enhance effective usage of information technology in local governance in ikot ekpene. It examines its success and failures. The study also intends to show the concept and impact of information technology in the world today. It show-cases the operations, components and devices of information technology that can be used in any organization for carrying out office operations effectively. The study also intends to model a new system for ikot ekpene local government that will help the management of records in the system.


    1.4 Specific Objectives

    The following are the specific objectives of the research;

    1. To build a new system for ikot ekpene local government.
    2. To speed up office operations in ikot ekpene local government.
    3. To educate the public on the role of IT.
    4. To improve data processing operations in the office.

    1.5 Research Questions

    The following are the research questions formulated for this research work:

    1. What is IT?
    2. What are the benefits of the use of IT?
    3. Is it better to use Information technology means or manual means?
    4. How does IT improve office operation?
    5. What areas of local governance can be handled

    1.6 Significance Of The Study
