INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The national youth service corps (NYSC) is an organization set by the Nigerian
government to involve the country’s graduates in the development of the country.
There is no military conscription in Nigeria, but since 1973 graduates of
universities and later polytechnics have been required to take part in the national
youth service corps (NYSC) program for one year. This is known as national
service year, corps members are posted to cities far from their city of origin. They
are expected to mix with people of other tribes, social and family backgrounds,
to learn the culture of the indigenes in the place they are posted to. This action
is aimed to bring about unity in the country and to help youth appreciate other
ethnic groups. There is an orientation period of approximately three weeks spent
in a camp away from family and friends. After the orientation process corps
members are posted to the areas of primary assignment. There is also a passing
out ceremony at the end of the year. The program has also helped in creating
entry-level jobs for a lot of Nigerian youths. An NYSC forum dedicated to NYSC
members was recently built to bridge the gap amongst members serving across
Nigeria and also serves as an avenue for corps members to share job information
and career resources as well as get loans from the national directorates of
employment.

1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

The NYSC is faced with the following problems due to their manual method of
handling information:
 Poor handling of corps members’ information
 Time wastage in searching for information

 Data redundancy

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

The objectives of this project are as follows:

 To design an information system that makes data access easy for corps
members.

 To design a system that can automatically post corps members to their

areas of primary assignment.

 To design a system that can help the NYSC management to supervise

corps members.

1.4 JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY

The good reason why this project is done is to provide an efficient method of
handling corps members’ data at the orientation.
1.5 SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This project covers the design and implementation of information system for
the NYSC orientation camp (A case study of Awgu)
I.6 PROJECT REPORT ORGANIZATION

CHAPTER TWO

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1 AN OVERVIEW OF NIGERIA YOUTH SERVICE CORPS

The national youth service corps (NYSC) scheme was

established by the then head of state, general Yakubu Gowon in Nigeria on 22nd
of may, 1973.
By the year 2000, years after the decree enabling its establishment was
promulgated, a large and diverse segment of the Nigerian population as well as
notable people around the world, commended its establishment and eulogized its
operations and achievement, especially its momentous role in promoting national
unity, integration and rapid economic development of
Nigeria. The Nigeria’s former head of state general Yakubu Gowon, who
promulgated the NYSC decree in 1973, recalled that the scheme which some ill
motivated persons tried to write off at inception, has since grown to such a level
of national importance and acceptance to the extent that no one can today speaks
of national unity, or rural development, without mentioning the NYSC. Also
speaking during a public lecture organized in Abuja on June 4,1998, to mark the
silver jubilee of the scheme ,the first chairman of the NYSC, Professor Adebajo
Adedji ,likened the rapid development of the programme to the biblical grain of
the mustard seed planted in 1973,that has become a huge in 1998: said he: in
spite of all the odds, the NYSC scheme has not only remained intact ,but has also
prospered and expanded considerably, almost expressing identical sentiments
during the same occasion ,an ex-corps member, Dr Lanrere VI Bamidele, of the
department of theatre Arts ,university of Ibadan, observed that the scheme has
become a household name in Nigeria today .In his words : there is no aspect of
the Nigeria social, cultural and economic life that the
NYSC has not been touched ,or has not contributed meaningfully. It has become
a household name in the
educational sector that one can say that if it is for the sector alone, the NYSC
shall continue to be relevant as long as the resources could maintain it. Another
ex-corps member, Dr goodwill Ogbogodo of the university of Benin, see the
NYSC as one of the best programmes that have being introduced to this country.
In the same vein the sixth director General Hafiz
Momoh, in his preface to NYSC: twenty years of national service, observed that
the scheme has impacted positively on various aspects of our national life.
According to him the NYSC “has come to acclaimed as one of the most effective
and successful instrument in our continuing efforts at achieving a humane and
egalitarian society based on mutual understanding, trust, tolerance and a common
vision of our national destiny.January 15,
1996, the minister of youth and sports in the Gambia, Mrs. Aminah Faal- Sonko,
said, that members of the Gambian study team that visited America, Europe, the
middle East and a number of African countries in search of a model youth service
scheme for the Gambia, were anonymous in their report that “the NYSC in
Nigeria is the best organized youth service program in the world. According to
Brig Gen, Yusuf Bomoi, in accordance with the decree 51 of June 1993 only
successfully graduated candidates in the various certificate / diploma or degree
examinations are qualified to be called-up for service in the NYSC scheme. Only
such candidates are qualified to collect their call up letters from the student affairs
officers to their respective institutions. All prospective corps members are issued
with call-up letters on graduation from their respective institutions. The letter
informs them of their orientation venues and the date they should register for
National NYSC orientation camps.

2.2 OPERATION OF THE NYSC SCHEME

The decree set up a National Directorate comprising a chairman, the Director-
General, representatives of committees of vice chancellors, rectors, the armed
forces, police, the Nigeria employers’ consultative association and time special
members.
The Directorate is the governing and policy making body of the National Youth
Services Corps. The Director General is the chief Executive of the scheme while
the coordinator is in charge of the state secretariat.
The Decree also provides for the establishment of a Governing Board in each
state of the federation. The state Governing Board has a statutory responsibility
to assist the Directorate in the smooth operation of the scheme in the state.
The Decree also established local governing committees and State Zonal Officers
to assist in the operation of the scheme at the grassroots levels.

2.3 FOUR PHASE PROGRAMME OF THE NYSC

The four phase programmes of national youth of the national youth service corps
is as follows;

2.3.1 MOBILIZATION

This entails collections and collation of data on all prospective corps members
from the various corps producing institution nation-wide whose graduates
qualify for enlistment into the scheme. Nigeria graduates from foreign
institution report directly to the directorate headquarters Abuja,
for the evaluation of their certificate preparatory to
deployment. Foreign- trained graduates should note that only national who
graduated before they turned 30 are eligible to serve irrespective of their age on
arrival in Nigeria, it is age at graduation for the first degree that matters.
2.3.2 ORIENTATION PROGRAMME

The orientation programme provides the first venue for affecting the desired
change of attitude, as participants receive training in preparation for their next
assignment of selfless and patriotic service to their fatherland. The purpose of the
course is also to introduce corps members to and familiarize them with the ideas
of the youth corps scheme. It is compulsory for every participant to be inducted
through orientation training before service; nobody joins the orientation prior to
service.

2.3.3 PRIMARY ASSIGNMENT

POSTING

The national youth service corps takes care to avoid posting that result in wastage
of human resources. Corps members are therefore, as much as possible; posted
to areas relevant to their discipline although sometimes national need may
override this consideration.
REPOSTING

Wrong posting or under utilization of corps members, when established is

corrected through reposting by the state NYSC secretariat.
PROCEDURE FOR RELOCATION

A corps members seeking relocation away from his state of service shall address
an application to the director-general through the state through the state of service
attaching necessary documentary evidence to support or aid the request. The state
coordinator will forward the application to the director-general with his
comments. He is not to suppress the application either recommended or not .A
corps member who has applied for relocation and except under unusual
 circumstances shall continue to serve at his duty station if until necessary
approved relocation is received from directorate.

2.3.4 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERIVCE (CDS)

A. In identifying with the current national objectives, the NYSC CDS has
ventured into agriculture thus several corps members who specialize in
agriculture and allied disciplines and who are same posted within the same
locality are organized to work in rotational schedules on the farms.
Furthermore, the generality of corps members are expected to undertake a year
round basis in addition to their primary assignment, at least one community
development project in their neighborhood, in groups. After the consultation with
the community people. Some suggested projects under the year round community
development programmes are as follows:
i. Mass literacy: each one teaches one or funds the teaching one. ii.
Technologies/scientific inventions and fabrications.
iii. Organizing local people to take more interest in indigenous art, drama, and music
and dances.
iv. Public health education, immunization and health care delivery preventive and
curative horticulture, tree planting-landscaping environmental beautification.
B. Encourage by the success of the infrastructural construction. The

management of NYSC scheme has diversified into so me

commercial ventures such as; tailoring, printing, food production and processing.
Cottage Industries, Using Local Raw materials and
Corps Manpower Resources.
 2.3.5 WINDING UP PROGRAMME AND PASSING OUT

PARADE

During the last week of the service year corps member are organized into groups
to evaluate and appraise the service year their suggestion, recommendations and
proposals are studied, analyzed and subsequent used as basis to further
improvement of the scheme. The service year is rounded off with a passing out
parade usually in the state capital, during which certificates of national service
are issued to corps members, and special honors conferred on those corps
members, whose performance during the year was outstanding both within the
state and
national levels.

2.4 ORIENTATION PROCESS FOR PROSPECTIVE (NYSC)

MEMBERS

2.4.1 ORIENTATION COURSE/DURATION

The orientation course holds for three weeks (21) days usually from Tuesday.
Registration commences on the Tuesday, the camp opens and closes usually the
following day, Wednesday by 12 midnight. At the end of the course, corps
members are given posting letters to their various places of primary assignment.
The orientation course is designed to achieve the following objectives of the
scheme:

(i) To give the corps members a better understanding of the objectives of NYSC
scheme and enable them to internalize its ideas.
(ii) To familiarize corps members with their new environment in their political,
cultural, social and economic settings.
(iii) To instill discipline in youths.

(iv) To instill in them the spirit of collective responsibility.

2.4.2 REGISTRATION

One year national service begins from the date one is being documented for
service at the NYSC orientation camp, the
stages of registration is as follows:

Submission of call up letters (do not laminate the call up

letter)

 Presentation of your last institution ID card for screening.

 Presentation of your original certificate/statement of results for screening.

After screening of the above you will be issued with the following:
 State code number, which is exclusively yours.

 A meal ticket (card)

 A file to house the call up letters, photocopies of your credentials and other NYSC
forms you are expected to complete.

2.4.3 MEAL TICKETS/FEEDING

Corps members are centrally fed throughout the orientation period. Upon the
completion of registration, meal ticket are issued to corps members. Corps
members are called upon to participate in cooking and serving of food on platoon
basis.

2.4.4 ACCOMMODATION ON CAMP

Accommodation is provided on the basis of first come, first serve. Note that it is
the duty of corps members to take proper care of their mattress, and ensure that
the hostels are clean throughout the period of the orientation course.

2.4.5 ORIENTATION BROADCASTING SERVICE (OBS)

The OBS is the only recognized media outfit at the camp. This service is designed
for corps members where camp news, events and announcement are relayed to
them. The OBS functions are carried out by corps members. Mostly by the mass
communication and English graduates plus the graduates from allied disciplines
as well as those who have interest. Technicians are also very much needed to
facilitate the smooth running of the
OBS.

2.4.6 PLATOON AND PLATOON ACTIVITIES

One of the major high points of the orientation course is the platoon and inter-
platoon activities. There are ten platoons on camp, platoon1 to 10. Every corps
member automatically belongs to one of these platoons. The distribution into
various platoons is done by the administrative officers at the registration points
based on the last digit of corps members’ registration number. Activities on camp
like physical training, early morning drills, and endurance are carried out on
platoon basis. So your platoon is your own clique.
Another interesting aspects of the course, is the inter platoon competitions. Prizes
are awarded to the best platoons platform in such activities as quiz competition,
cooking, competition, socials etc.
2.4.7 KITS ITEMS/MODE OF DRESSING

Kits items are issued to every corps members during the registration. They
include the following:
Khaki shirt/khaki trouser --------- 1 pair

Ceremonial cap ------------------ 1

Crested NYSC vests --------------- 1

Belts --------------------------- 1

White physical exercise (PE) shorts------ 2

Jungle boots ------------------------------------ 1

White canvas shoes--------------------------- 1

White t –shirts--------------------------------------2
2.4.8 DISCIPLINE

Discipline is the bedrock on which orderliness; progress of any individual,

community or nation is assured. Any act of indiscipline during the orientation
and indeed throughout the service year treated with appropriate sanction.
2.4.9 SECURITY
Every camp resident has a responsibility to be vigilant and security conscious.
Corps members are advised to take proper care of their valuables. The NYSC
management has no policy which offers replacements of or compensation for lost
items. The police have the primary duty to protect life, property and ensure
general security on the camp. Corps members are advised to co- operate with the
law enforcement officers.

2.5 ID CARD

The importance of identity card cannot be overemphasized. It is a document

which each corps member must carry at all times. It must be produced on demand,
if lost; an official report must be made by the bearer to the camp director. ID
cards are however replaced on payment of a fee of 200naira and submission of
police reports, a court affidavit and an application letter.

2.5.1 MEDICAL CARE

24hrs medical care is provided on camp at the camp clinic manned by corps
doctor, nurses, pharmacists etc corps members are warned against self –
medication except if prescription is by personal physician.

2.5.2 CAMP MARKET

At the orientation camp, there is the price monitoring committee charged with the
task of ensuring that traders sell quality products at reasonable prices to the corps
members.
2.5.3 SOCIALS

The NYSC organized activities in which people meet for pleasure after the day’s
rigorous activities.

2.5.4 POSTING

Deliberate efforts will be made to ensure that corps members are posted to places
relevant to their specific discipline and skill where their services are most needed.
It is however hoped that where this is not possible, the affected corps member
should show understanding and maturity in the spirit of national service.

2.5.5 RELOCATION

This is the process by which corps members seek to leave one state for another.
This can only be approved on the grounds of ill health (given by a certified
medical practitioner) and in marriage cases.

2.5.6 EXEAT

Corps members must obtain exeat before going out of camp. The camp director
gives exeat when necessary and such corps members should go out in their NYSC
uniform.

2.5.7 RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES AT ORIENTATION CAMP

Corps members are allowed to practice their religion at the orientation camp.
 2.5.8 CORPS ALLOWANCES

The account department takes care of corps member’s

entitlement:

 Transport allowance payable on arrival at the camp

 Bicycle allowance (for members during orientation exercise)

2.5.9 PROMINENT ACTIVITIES ON CAMPING

They are as follows:

 Military parades/drills.

 Man O’ war activities.

 Social activities (football, marching, volleyball)

 Endurance trek.
CHAPTER THREE

3.1 METHODOLOGY

Methodology is a set of methods and principles used to perform a

particular activity.
3.1.1 METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION

The methods of data collection used in this project are:

(I) OBSERVATION METHOD

Due to the importance attached to the collection of accurate

information from the right, authentic and reliable source, information
was gathered on observing the activities that took place in the NYSC
orientation camp.
(ii) BY BROWSING METHOD

Information was gathered from e books, journals, publications and

articles concerning computerized NYSC orientation
information system.

3.2 DATA ANALYSIS

In analyzing the collected data it was seen that the staff find it hard to
get the necessary information needed in the processing and
registration of corps member’s information because of time

factor.

3.3 ANALYSIS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

 System analysis is the procedure by which activities in an
organization (NYSC orientation information system camp) are
studied with the aim of determining how to operate it most efficiently.
It is essential for a thorough analysis of the present system. However
the level of success achieved in carrying out a work of this dimension
depends on the methodology adopted. From the analysis of the current
system the following conclusions are drawn:
(i) The staff allocates registration form manually.

(ii) Registration forms are stored as hard copies.

(iii)Difficulties are experienced in getting information about the corps

members.
(iv) Difficulties are experienced in getting in touch with the NYSC
director.
(v) Difficulties are experienced in during renewing and updating

of corps members profile and NYSC policies.

3.4 LIMITATIONS OF THE EXISTING SYSTEM

The limitations of the existing system are:

(i ) Poor filling system.

(ii) Poor storing, processing and accessibility of data/information.

(iii) Data redundancy.

(iv) Poor database management.

(v ) Lack of data integrity.

 3.5 SYSTEM DESIGN

System design is the process of defining the architecture components,

modules, interfaces, and data for a system to satisfy specific
requirement. It is the application of systems theory to product
development. There is some overlap with the disciplines of system
analysis, system architecture and system engineering. The physical
portion of system design is broken down into three parts namely:
 User interface design.

 Data design

 Process design

USER INTERFACE

This has to do with how users add information to the systems and how the
system presents information back to them.

DATA DESIGN

Data design has to do with how data are represented and stored within the system.

PROCESS DESIGN
This has to do with how data moves through the system and with how it
is validated, secured, transformed as it flows into, through and out of the
system.

CHAPTER FOUR

SYSTEM IMPLEMENTATION, TESTING AND INTEGRATION

 4.1 CHOICE OF THE DEVELOPMENT TOOLS

To ensure a standardised object oriented program in its ramification, visual

basic.net and SQL server 2005 was used

4.2 SYSTEM REQUIREMENT

In order to realize this project, the following software and hardware

Packages are required:

4.2.1 SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The software requirements include:

1. A window XP and Window 7 or higher version for faster processing.

2. Visual Basic integrated development environment vb(vb.net )

3. SQL server 2005.

4.2.2 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The hardware requirements for the project are:

1. A minimum of Pentium IV system

2. A 2GB of RAM or more.

3. 50GB of hard disk or more.

4.3 IMPLEMENTATION

The phase in the software lifecycle where the actual software is

implemented. The result of these phase consists of source code, together
with documentation to make the code more readable. For software
implementation the software does not only have to be considered from
the point of view of logistics functionality but from the technical
perspective. So if a company works with old software. It may want to use
a new system, which is more efficient and has more work capacity. So a
new system has to be adopted.
FIG 4.3.1 THE NYSC LOGIN WINDOW

This window is specifically designed for corps members that have

already gotten their registration number to access to the information in
the software system.
 FIG 4.3.2 Admin Form Window

This window is specially designed for the user to register corps

Members information. The registration is done automatically by the software.

4.4.1 UNIT TESTING

Unit testing deals with testing a unit as a whole. This would test the interaction
of many functions but confine the test within one unit.

System testing is the running of the whole system against test data, a
compete simulation of the actual running system for purposes of testing
out the adequacies of the system.
CHAPTER FIVE

SUMMARY, LIMITATION AND CONCLUSION

5.1 SUMMARY

NYSC Posting system is designed to overcome the problems encountered with

the existing system (i.e manual) such as prone to attack, data redundancy, time
wastage in searching for information, poor security and protection, misplacement
and mismanagement of files etc. The new system is designed in such a way that
information about each corps member is stored in a database for easy retrieval of
information.
5.2 LIMITATIONS OF THE PROJECT

This project work is limited to students who are due for youth service. It is
important to mention that time was a major constraint in the course of this project.
It is also wise to mention here that some information needed to work with was
not collected because of the unwillingness of the board in revealing such vital
information.
