COMPUTER APPLICATION TO MONITORING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SCHEME OF THE CORPS MEMBERS A CASE STUDY OF NYSC SECRETARIAT, MINNA

Abstract

One major cor.,ponent of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) scheme is the Community Development Service. Essentially, the service is a deliberate policy of mobilising corps members to make vital contribution to national development, especially at the grassroots. To achieve the expected objectives, each corps member participate in one form of community development or the other. The NYSC, on the other hand, is expected to monitor the corps members and ensure that they participate fully in a community development service. Presently, the population of corps members is on the increase with the net effort of difficulty in the monitoring community development service. However, this study is aimed at developing a computerised system for the NYSC to which will be used to control monitor community development service. The software for the computerised system is developed using a database management system.
