ABSTRACT Abstract is a document designed to show a review of whatever the designer tackled on during designing processes of the project. It also summarizes the content in all chapters. This project comprises of five chapters that is, chapter one which includes a number of sub topics like background, problem statement and also objectives are discussed with in this chapter, the justification of the study to mention but a few. Chapter two covers literature review that describes the review of literature relating to some writers and scholars plus other researchers and designers. Chapter three describes the methodology including both the physical and logical techniques used and even the tools applied during the design of the final report. The design was basically related to what other writers and designers say about what and so on and so forth. Chapter four includes system development and testing which illustrates the system development life cycle up to the end, lastly chapter five describes system evaluation including the design lay outs of the system the problems encountered during the development phase and lastly the recommendations made. It is helpful to the user as well since it will produce the information required for the project design. After passing through this project, you will be able to understand the system to be designed. In the appendices, the methods used like the questioner, forms, reports, codes and many others are included in this part.
