It is mandatory by law for all employers in Nigeria to engage in occupational
scheme pension. However, the principles of pension documentation and services are
static despite the dynamics of reforms. Most of these problems are caused by the
manual approach used by the pension fund administrator. The aim of the pension
system is to expedite consumption equalization by making mandatory provision for the
future after service. This study analyses the problems faced by many retirees in the
Central Region of Nigeria, Kogi State in recent times. The study seeks to develop a
secure system for pensioners to assess information on payment of their pension with
ease through a computerized pension verification system by adapting the Waterfall
model, using tools like the Hypertext Preprocessor Program (PHP) for the
programming language which is used in carrying out the web-based pension fund
management scheme for effective, efficient, reliable and easy accessibility, and also
the use of MYSOL for the database. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the
staff pension system developed in this research should be adopted by all states.

Governing the adoption of robotics and autonomous systems in long term care i...Araz Taeihagh
Robotics and autonomous systems have been dubbed as viable technological solutions to address the incessant demand for long-term care (LTC) across the world, which is exacerbated by ageing populations. However, similar to other emerging technologies, the adoption of robotics and autonomous systems in LTC pose risks and unintended consequences. In the health and LTC sectors, there are additional bioethics concerns that are associated with novel technology applications. Using an in-depth case study, we examined the adoption of novel technologies such as robotics and autonomous systems in LTC to meet the rising social care demand in Singapore consequent to its ageing population. We first described the LTC sector in Singapore and traced the development of robotics and autonomous systems deployed in the LTC setting. We then examined technological risks and ethical issues that are associated with their applications. In addressing these technological risks and ethical concerns, Singapore has adopted a regulatory sandbox approach that fosters experimentation through the creation of a robotics test-bed and the initiation of various robotics pilots in different health clusters. The stakeholders largely envision positive scenarios of human-robot coexistence in the LTC setting. When robots can take over routine and manual care duties in the future, human care workers can be freed up to provide more personalised care to the care recipients. We also highlighted existing gaps in the governance of technological risks and ethical issues surrounding the deployment of robotics and autonomous systems in LTC that can be advanced as future research agendas.
Impact of Contributory Pension Scheme on Workers’ Savings and Investment in N...iosrjce
This paper analyses the impact of Contributory Pension Scheme on employee savings and investment
in Nigeria using Anambra State public workers as a case study. The paper uses cross – sectional primary data
sourced through a structured questionnaire administered on 387 respondents (i.e. those that have been in
service for the period of 5 years and on grade level 8. This choice is based on the fact that they will save
money than those in grade levels less than 8. The empirical analysis reveals that majority of the respondents
prefers to save outside any pension scheme implying that they are participating because it is compulsory. Again,
most of the respondents are not aware of their employers’ own contribution to their contributory pension
scheme. The study therefore concludes among others that the Nigerian government should create more
awareness and enlightement campaign on the workers’ contributory pension scheme geared towards
retirements

In this study, the researcher evaluated the challenges of e-governance implementation in
Nigerian aviation industry, using Dana Airline. The objectives of the study are; to examine the
factors that hinder the effective implementation of e-governance in the selected airline in
aviation industry in Nigeria; and to examine if the factors identified in the implementation of egovernance
have significantly affected the performance of selected airlines in aviation industry
in Nigeria. Recorded population of the study is 850, and the study used Yaro Yamane formula
at 95% confidence level to obtain a sample size of 272. Cronbach alpha was employed to obtain
a reliability instrument that yielded an index coefficient of 0.843, which made the instrument
reliable. In line with the design of this study, the data that were collected for this study were
analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The objectives posed for the study were
answered using mean, standard deviation, and sample independent t-test statistics. The
hypothesis was tested at 5% level of significance. Based on the findings of the study, it was
concluded that ICT infrastructure is the most factor that hinders the implementation of egovernance
in Nigerian aviation industry. This means that without proper ICT infrastructure, it is
impossible to implement the e-governance in aviation industry in a developing country like
Nigeria. In the absence of proper awareness among the users of the e-governance system, it is
impossible to set up an effective e-governance system. Non-acceptability of IT systems, Low
financial capability, Lack of electricity, High-cost, low-reliability of Internet access, Lack of
training facilities and Lack of planning are all factors that hinder the effective implementation of
e-governance in aviation industry in Nigeria. The study also concluded that the
factors/challenges identified in the implementation of e-governance have significantly affected
the performance of selected airlines in aviation industry in Nigeria. The study therefore
recommends among others based on the findings of the study that it is paramount to have a
proper ICT infrastructure to implement e-governance; government should take appropriate steps
to enhance the awareness among the users of e-governance by organizing seminar meeting and
other enlighten the users in the proper application of e-governance.

The savings and loans cooperative are a cooperative that has an important purpose in its reach and services, such as the Permata Ngijo Savings and Loans Cooperative. Activities within the cooperative itself include managing member data as well as savings and loan transactions. In systems that are still manual, such as Microsoft Excel, there is a risk of inaccurate data and takes a long time. This manual system is still less effective because the number of members and transactions continues to grow. Therefore, an application is needed as a more effective data processing and information system for members that is easier to access. This study aims to build an android-based savings and loan application using the hypertext preprocessor (PHP) programming language and my structured query language (MySQL) as data storage. Based on the android application that has been made, it shows that the black box functionality of the application runs as planned, the success rate for users reaches 90%.

Adaption of E-Filling of Income Tax Returns in KurdistanAI Publications
The study aimed to examine factors influencing E-filling in Kurdistan region of Iraq. To measure the current study, the researchers used three factors (perception, awareness, and quality) as independent variables and E-filling as dependent variable. A quantitative technique applied in order to analyze the current study. Sample design refers to the procedure or method the researcher is willing to accept in choosing items for the sample. Research sample was selected using a procedure of random sampling and it was carried out in different banks. A total of 120 questionnaires were distributed, however 109 participants properly filled out the questionnaires. The results of the study revealed that low levels of computer literacy have a substantial impact on the compliance levels of government organizations. The research determined that in the context of security, the danger of tax noncompliance did not have a major effect on the degree of compliance among the various Iraqi government institutions in the Kurdistan area. The extension or upgrade would be sure to assist in better understanding the determining factor for electronic filing acceptability. Moreover, government agencies, government policy makers, and system designers could also profit from a management policy such as policy makers and agencies. Because of this, the theory and discussion on the subject would provide factual support for the reasons behind why this technology was difficult to adopt. The results show that awareness influences E-as an influential factor significantly and positively E-filling at 5% level. The results show that quality influences E-as an influential factor significantly and positively E-filling at 5% level. The results show that E-filling E-as an influential factor influences significantly and positively E-filling at 5% level. Moreover, all beta value is higher than .001. All models have very high adjusted R2 (0.693, 0.621, 0.712, and 0.763 respectively) indicating the ability of the models explaining the variation of E-filling due to variation of independent variables is very high. The F-value shows that the explanatory variables are jointly statistically significant in the model and the Durbin-Watson (DW) statistics reveals that there is autocorrelation in the models.

Nigerian aviation industry, using Dana Airline. The objectives of the study are; to examine the
factors that hinder the effective implementation of e-governance in the selected airline in
aviation industry in Nigeria; and to examine if the factors identified in the implementation of egovernance
have significantly affected the performance of selected airlines in aviation industry
in Nigeria. Recorded population of the study is 850, and the study used Yaro Yamane formula
at 95% confidence level to obtain a sample size of 272. Cronbach alpha was employed to obtain
a reliability instrument that yielded an index coefficient of 0.843, which made the instrument
reliable. In line with the design of this study, the data that were collected for this study were
analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The objectives posed for the study were
answered using mean, standard deviation, and sample independent t-test statistics. The
hypothesis was tested at 5% level of significance. Based on the findings of the study, it was
concluded that ICT infrastructure is the most factor that hinders the implementation of egovernance
in Nigerian aviation industry. This means that without proper ICT infrastructure, it is
impossible to implement the e-governance in aviation industry in a developing country like
Nigeria. In the absence of proper awareness among the users of the e-governance system, it is
impossible to set up an effective e-governance system. Non-acceptability of IT systems, Low
financial capability, Lack of electricity, High-cost, low-reliability of Internet access, Lack of
training facilities and Lack of planning are all factors that hinder the effective implementation of
e-governance in aviation industry in Nigeria. The study also concluded that the
factors/challenges identified in the implementation of e-governance have significantly affected
the performance of selected airlines in aviation industry in Nigeria. The study therefore
recommends among others based on the findings of the study that it is paramount to have a
proper ICT infrastructure to implement e-governance; government should take appropriate steps
to enhance the awareness among the users of e-governance by organizing seminar meeting and

A quantitative technique applied in order to analyze the current study. Sample design refers to the procedure or method the researcher is willing to accept in choosing items for the sample. Research sample was selected using a procedure of random sampling and it was carried out in different banks. A total of 120 questionnaires were distributed, however 109 participants properly filled out the questionnaires. The results of the study revealed that low levels of computer literacy have a substantial impact on the compliance levels of government organizations. The research determined that in the context of security, the danger of tax noncompliance did not have a major effect on the degree of compliance among the various Iraqi government institutions in the Kurdistan area. The extension or upgrade would be sure to assist in better understanding the determining factor for electronic filing acceptability. Moreover, government agencies, government policy makers, and system designers could also profit from a management policy such as policy makers and agencies. Because of this, the theory and discussion on the subject would provide factual support for the reasons behind why this technology was difficult to adopt. The results show that awareness influences E-as an influential factor significantly and positively E-filling at 5% level. The results show that quality influences E-as an influential factor significantly and positively E-filling at 5% level. The results show that E-filling E-as an influential factor influences significantly and positively E-filling at 5% level. Moreover, all beta value is higher than .001. All models have very high adjusted R2 (0.693, 0.621, 0.712, and 0.763 respectively) indicating the ability of the models explaining the variation of E-filling due to variation of independent variables is very high. The F-value shows that the explanatory variables are jointly statistically significant in the model and the Durbin-Watson (DW) statistics reveals that there is autocorrelation in the models.

But as already mentioned, their services and requirements are different after the like 26th November, 2008 incidents, where they without saving their own lives has sacrificed themselves without any hitch and without caring about their respective family members and wards. In other words, they are like our heroes and mentors who can guide us from the darkness of fear, militancy, corruption and other dark sides of life and so on. Now the question arises, if Gandhi would have been alive today, what would have been his reaction/opinion to the police and its functioning? Would he have some thing different in his mind now what he had been in his mind before the partition or would he be going to start some Satyagraha in the form of some improvement in the functioning of the police administration? Really these questions or rather night mares can come to any one’s mind, when there is too much confusion is prevailing in our minds, when there is too much corruption in the society and when the polices working is also in the questioning because of one or the other case throughout the India. It is matter of great concern that we have to thing over our administration and our practical approach because the police personals are also like us, they are part and parcel of our society and among one of us, so why we all are pin pointing towards them.

NPA do not generate any income, whereas, the bank is required to make provisions for such as assets that why is a double edge weapon. This paper outlines the concept of quality of bank loans of different types like Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of selected public and private sector banks. This study is highlighting problems associated with the role of commercial bank in financing Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SME). The overall objective of the research was to assess the effect of the financing provisions existing for the setting up and operations of MSMEs in the country and to generate recommendations for more robust financing mechanisms for successful operation of the MSMEs, in turn understanding the impact of MSME loans on financial institutions due to NPA. There are many research conducted on the topic of Non- Performing Assets (NPA) Management, concerning particular bank, comparative study of public and private banks etc. In this paper the researcher is considering the aggregate data of selected public sector and private sector banks and attempts to compare the NPA of Housing, Agriculture and MSME loans in state Haryana of public and private sector banks. The tools used in the study are average and Anova test and variance. The findings reveal that NPA is common problem for both public and private sector banks and is associated with all types of loans either that is housing loans, agriculture loans and loans to SMES. NPAs of both public and private sector banks show the increasing trend. In 2010-11 GNPA of public and private sector were at same level it was 2% but after 2010-11 it increased in many fold and at present there is GNPA in some more than 15%. It shows the dark area of Indian banking sector.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MECHANICAL AND TRIBOLOGICAL RELATION OF NYLON/BaSO4 POL...IAEME Publication
An experiment conducted in this study found that BaSO4 changed Nylon 6's mechanical properties. By changing the weight ratios, BaSO4 was used to make Nylon 6. This Researcher looked into how hard Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites are and how well they wear. Experiments were done based on Taguchi design L9. Nylon-6/BaSO4 composites can be tested for their hardness number using a Rockwell hardness testing apparatus. On Nylon/BaSO4, the wear behavior was measured by a wear monitor, pinon-disc friction by varying reinforcement, sliding speed, and sliding distance, and the microstructure of the crack surfaces was observed by SEM. This study provides significant contributions to ultimate strength by increasing BaSO4 content up to 16% in the composites, and sliding speed contributes 72.45% to the wear rate
ROLE OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA - PROBLEMS AND ...IAEME Publication
The majority of the population in India lives in villages. The village is the back bone of the country. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Developing the rural economy is one of the key indicators towards a country’s success. Whether it be the need to look after the welfare of the farmers or invest in rural infrastructure, Governments have to ensure that rural development isn’t compromised. The economic development of our country largely depends on the progress of rural areas and the standard of living of rural masses. Village or rural industries play an important role in the national economy, particularly in the rural development. Rural entrepreneurship is based on stimulating local entrepreneurial talent and the subsequent growth of indigenous enterprises. It recognizes opportunity in the rural areas and accelerates a unique blend of resources either inside or outside of agriculture. Rural entrepreneurship brings an economic value to the rural sector by creating new methods of production, new markets, new products and generate employment opportunities thereby ensuring continuous rural development. Social Entrepreneurship has the direct and primary objective of serving the society along with the earning profits. So, social entrepreneurship is different from the economic entrepreneurship as its basic objective is not to earn profits but for providing innovative solutions to meet the society needs which are not taken care by majority of the entrepreneurs as they are in the business for profit making as a sole objective. So, the Social Entrepreneurs have the huge growth potential particularly in the developing countries like India where we have huge societal disparities in terms of the financial positions of the population. Still 22 percent of the Indian population is below the poverty line and also there is disparity among the rural & urban population in terms of families living under BPL. 25.7 percent of the rural population & 13.7 percent of the urban population is under BPL which clearly shows the disparity of the poor people in the rural and urban areas. The need to develop social entrepreneurship in agriculture is dictated by a large number of social problems. Such problems include low living standards, unemployment, and social tension. The reasons that led to the emergence of the practice of social entrepreneurship are the above factors. The research problem lays upon disclosing the importance of role of social entrepreneurship in rural development of India. The paper the tendencies of social entrepreneurship in India, to present successful examples of such business for providing recommendations how to improve situation in rural areas in terms of social entrepreneurship development. Indian government has made some steps towards development of social enterprises, social entrepreneurship, and social in- novation, but a lot remains to be improved.
OPTIMAL RECONFIGURATION OF POWER DISTRIBUTION RADIAL NETWORK USING HYBRID MET...IAEME Publication
Distribution system is a critical link between the electric power distributor and the consumers. Most of the distribution networks commonly used by the electric utility is the radial distribution network. However in this type of network, it has technical issues such as enormous power losses which affect the quality of the supply. Nowadays, the introduction of Distributed Generation (DG) units in the system help improve and support the voltage profile of the network as well as the performance of the system components through power loss mitigation. In this study network reconfiguration was done using two meta-heuristic algorithms Particle Swarm Optimization and Gravitational Search Algorithm (PSO-GSA) to enhance power quality and voltage profile in the system when simultaneously applied with the DG units. Backward/Forward Sweep Method was used in the load flow analysis and simulated using the MATLAB program. Five cases were considered in the Reconfiguration based on the contribution of DG units. The proposed method was tested using IEEE 33 bus system. Based on the results, there was a voltage profile improvement in the system from 0.9038 p.u. to 0.9594 p.u.. The integration of DG in the network also reduced power losses from 210.98 kW to 69.3963 kW. Simulated results are drawn to show the performance of each case.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. INTRODUCTION
In recent times, most of the organizations in Nigeria emphasised on saving a certain
percentage of the income for provision after service covered by the public retirement pension.
The law made it compulsory for all employers in Nigeria to engage in this occupational
pension. However, the principle of pension documentation and services are still the same in
some regions over a long period of time. The aim of the pension system is to expedite
consumption equalization by making mandatory provision for the future after service
(Olatunde & Onyinye, 2014; Nervin, 2016). The Pension scheme fund in Nigeria can be dated
back to 1950s before the country independence. The first scheme was established by the
pension ordinance in 1951. In 1961, the National Provident fund was introduced and followed
by the Armed Forces Pension Act in 1979. The introduction of this act resulted in the
establishment of the Local Government Staff Pension Board in 1987. In 1993, the National
Social Trust Fund was introduced to replace the pension scheme (Musa, 2014). The Nigerian
workers continue to operate this system of pension fund until 2004 when it was replaced by
Reformed ACT (Pension Reform Act, PRA 2004) which covers only the employers in the
Federal Capital Territory. By this act, it was made compulsory for both workers in the private
and public sector to plan for the future after retirement. After a decade to this period, the
Nigerian government introduced another act that made it mandatory for the local and state
government to benefit from the pension scheme (Nervin, 2016).
However, despite the dynamics in the pension schemes in Nigeria, the management and
administration still continue to be one of the vital issues for employers after service
(Abubakar, 2013; Adesina, 2006; Dalang, 2006). Most of the pension schemes are financed
by Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG), which causes some delays and problems in the pension services.
According to Barr (2006), an increase in operating cost is one of the detrimental factors to be
considered to ensure effective discharge of pension services. This argument was also
supported by different scholars in the literature. Few among others include Brooks (2002),
Gallaso and Profeta (2003) who stressed that political factors can affect the pension service by
increasing the operating cost. Likewise, some scholars related it to economic factors (Madrid,
2003; Simmons & Elkin, 2004) while others related it to demographic factors due to high
dependency ratio (World Bank, 1994; Galasso & Profeta, 2003). Consequently, scholars have
raised questions about the standard of living, welfare, unemployment and poverty rate
(Asaleye, Adama & Ogunjobi, 2017; Asaleye, Popoola, Lawal, Ogundipe & Ezenwoke, 2018;
Fashina, Asaleye, Ogunjobi & Lawal, 2018; Asaleye Isoha, Asamu, Inegbedion, Arisukwu,
Popoola, 2018). A close observation of many retirees in Nigeria and the problems faced such
as late payment, corruption among others have led hardship of many retirees. Also, pension
collection and management compared to developed economies is lacking behind (Ahmed &
Oyediran, 2013; Barr & Diamond, 2008; Rabalino, 2005; Holzman, 2005).
Most of these problems are caused by the manual approach used by the pension fund
administrator (PFA), Although, some regions in Nigeria have adopted the computerized
approach (Casey, 2008). However, in Kogi State, the manual has been in existence for over a

period of time. In this approach, this high probability for human error and encourage
mismanagement of resources. This study aims to introduce a system where workers can easily
be contacted without the stress of standing in a long queue to be screened. Evidence from
empirical review has shown that mismanagement of resources and lack of continuity in
policies and reforms have had an adverse effect on growth and development in Nigeria
(Asaleye, Olurinola, Oloni & Ogunjobi, 2017; Asaleye, Okodua, Oloni & Ogunjobi, 2017;
Oloni, Asaleye, Abiodun & Adeyemi, 2017).
Theoretically, the principle of operational efficiency stressed the importance of pension
fund after retirement (Campbell & Fieldstein, 2001). In light of the importance of pension
service to improve welfare. This study uses the Waterfall model to investigate the collection
of the pension fund in Kogi State, Nigeria. This model allows to review and ascertain if the
project is in the right direction and whether to carry on with the project or to abandon the
project. The phases are; the requirements; the design; the implementation and unit testing;
integration and unit testing; operation and maintenance. This project is important in Kogi
State due to large numbers of employers that have not received their pension after service
compares to other States in Nigeria.
The outlines of this study are as follows; after the introductory section, then follows by the
system analysis and methodology. Then the work is concluded by conclusion and
recommendation in Section 3.
2. SYSTEM ANALYSIS AND METHODOLOGY
This section describes in detail the system design methodology. It focuses on the system
structure and interactions. Research/system design is the procedures used by the researcher in
collecting data for the research study (Okeke, 2005). The proposed system is a car rental
system. It will be deployed on the web and is aimed at providing a Staff Pension system for
Kogi State. This section begins by examining the Systems Requirement Specification (SRS)
document which is majorly focused on only the functional requirements to be provided by the
system. It proceeds to the system design which consists of the logic design. The logic design
consists of various user interfaces and the section also explains the system design using UML
diagrams.
The system requirement specification is a structured document that collects information
which encompasses the requirements of a system. This section would focus mainly on the
functional requirements of the proposed system and these include: The system should be able
to validate all user input and respond to exceptions appropriately; The system should enforce
the policy of non-multiple users of an account using standard authentication processes; The
system should allow admin to create and maintain Staff details and also be able to process
fund as well as withdraw funds from staff account; The system should allow for secure
communication between admin and client as related to updating user info; The system should
be able to track insecure penetrations and prevent unauthorized intrusions; The system should
also allow users to maintain an online profile.
2.1. System Design and Implementation
The features of the implementation languages used in this research are PHP and MYSQL. The
system testing strategies, the target computer requirements as well as the software
maintenance issues are all important. The logical design of the system is concerned with the
underlying logic of the proposed system which would be abstracted from the various
interfaces of the system. The interfaces discussed would be the input design, output design
and menu design.

5.1. Features of Implementation Languages
In this work, the programming languages used are PHP (Hypertext Preprocessor) and
MYSQL programming languages. PHP is a general purpose server side scripting language
originally designed for web development to produce dynamic web pages. It has also evolved
to include a command line interface capability and can be used in stand-alone graphical
applications. Some of its features include C and C++. PHP syntax, this also close to C and
C++ language syntax, with this feature, the user will find it not difficult to operate and adjust
to achieve the desired result. Likewise, it can work properly on UNIX and various windows
operating system. The output system is one of the main advantages as well. Consequently, the
platform is self-regulating, however, compatibility problems are not allowed during operating
or when writing code. Also, this is provided and flexible to take huge data at an accurate
speed. With the structure of PHP, its promote Rapid Application Development (RAD). Some
of these include cake PHP, code igniter, YII framework and Zend framework. PHP IDS add
security to any PHP application to defend against intrusion. PHPIDS detects cross-site
scripting (XSS), SQL injection, header injection, directory traversal, remote file execution,
local file execution and Denial of Service (DOS).
The MYSQL, on the other hand, is a relational database management system written in C
and C++, that runs as a server providing multi-user access to a number of databases. MYSQL
is used basically to create a relational database structure on a server in order to store data or
automate procedures. The following features make MYSQL also a preferred implementation

Adedoyin Isola LAWAL, Henry INEGBEDION, Olabisi POPOOLA
http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 134 editor@iaeme.com
language in this research: MYSQL is written in C and C++ and tested with a broad range of
different compilers. It also functions on different platforms. It uses multi-layered server
design with independent modules. It is designed to be fully multi-threaded using kernel
threads to easily use multiple CPUs if they are available. It is a server/client system. The
database server (MYSQL) and the arbitrary many clients (application programs) which
communicates with the server to query data and save changes, among others.
System testing is conducted on a complete integrated system to evaluate the system's
compliance with its specified requirements. System testing falls within the scope of black box
testing and as such should require no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic.
During system testing, the focus is on the software design, behaviour and even the believed
expectations of the customer. So we can also refer to the system testing phase as the
investigatory testing phase of the software development life cycle. The system testing
strategies used in this system include the unit test and integration test.
Maintenance would be seen in three areas in this research; corrective maintenance,
preventive maintenance and adaptive maintenance. Corrective maintenance is a maintenance
task performed to identify, isolate and rectify a fault so that the failed system can be restored
to an operational condition within the tolerances or limits established for in-service
operations. Necessary corrections in the form of removal, modification or addition of program
modules should be permitted by the software to allow for optimal use of the application.
The preventive maintenance is to prevent the failure of software before it actually occurs.
It is designed to preserve and enhance software reliability by replacing error-prone
components before they actually fail. Recent technological advances in tools for inspection
and diagnosis have enabled more accurate and effective software maintenance. Measures like
regular diagnosis, database backups, creating system mirrors preserve the integrity of
information stored in the application. If these are strictly followed, limited instances of such
occurrences would be noticed in the use of the software application. Adaptive maintenance
involves enhancing the system by adding features, capabilities and functions in response to
new technology, upgrades, new requirements or new problems. Since the environment in
which the application would be running is dynamic, it should be made to suit whatever
requirements that may change in the long run.
6. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
The law made it compulsory for all employers in Nigeria to engage in occupational scheme
pension. However, the principle of pension documentation and services are still the same in
some regions over a long period of time. The aim of the pension system is to expedite
consumption equalization by making mandatory provision for the future after service. Several
reforms have been carried out to improve the pension service in Nigeria. Conversely, despite
the dynamics in the pension schemes in Nigeria, the management and administration still
continue to be one of the vital issues for employers after service. Most of these problems are
caused by the manual approach used by the pension fund administrator. This study introduced
a system where workers can easily be contacted without the stress of standing in a long queue
to be screened. Theoretically, the principle of operational efficiency stressed the importance
of pension fund after retirement. In light of this importance, the study used the Waterfall
model as a guide for the introduced system. This model allows to review and ascertain if the
project is in the right direction and whether to carry on with the project or to abandon the
project.
Based on the findings of this research, the following conclusions have been drawn; A staff
pension system is of utmost importance to all state not only Kogi state. However, it does not

replace the traditional process of collecting pension fund manually but rather seeks to
eliminate the stress encounter by the user and the staff as well. This will also go a long way in
optimizing the correctness and transparency in every car rental station. The following
recommendations have been made based on the findings of this research; Staff pension
systems develop in the course of this research work should be adopted by all state; To anyone
who intends to carry out further research on this topic or one similar to this should endeavour
to provide for both android and windows app.
