Its Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) feature was used to run simulation tests at a target speed of 150 km/h to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of the tricycle. Simulation results presented shows that lift and drag forces are diminished considerably and that 170 km/h is the maximum speed to be traveled by the tricycle for a smooth and stable ride. Also, the design reduced drastically the effects of lift and drag forces, increased the tricycle’s stability, traction and performance as well as minimized the weight of the tricycle as a result of the use of high performance to mass ratio materials such as carbon fiber for the body and alloy steel for the frame and rims.

From basic information management and administrative duties to complex business activities, the office serves as a platform for operation. ICT is affecting vastly all spheres of economic activities, hence; this thesis expounds the extent to which ICT has influenced the development of the office system. Forty six (46) Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) as well as major offices including banks, educational outfits, government ministries and parastatals, Law firms, telecommunications service centers, vehicle maintenance outlets, medical and industrial facilities etc. were visited in different areas around Abuja and Port-Harcourt Metropolis in Nigeria. The office setup and activities were accessed for a period of 30 minutes and in each office, at least a staff was interviewed to ascertain the level of ICT impact in their official functions. From results gathered, more established firms with offices undertaking a broader scope of activities were observed to maintain better ICT equipped offices than SMEs, SMEs that have adapted more of ICT in service delivery were also observed to be thriving better than others with lower level of ICT adaptation, and due to the nature of job/services delivered, SMEs tend to require ICT infrastructure for office functions just as much as the more established organizations. This research thesis expatiates on the impact of ICT in office development, outline ways to adapt ICT in the office system for better efficiency and lastly, proffer that SMEs implement more of ICT infrastructure in office and business activities.
