BACKGROUND OF STUDY

1.1    INTRODUCTION

The trend shows that more Nigerians do financial transactions electronically viabanks ATMs, internet banking and SMS-banking. It was reported that in Nigeria majorbank, the number of ATM transactions is 3.5 to 4 million (of total 5 million transactions) in a single day. In another bank, the ATM transactions are increased by 32% annually. Still,the banks in Nigeria seem to be confident that the ATM transactions would keep onincreasing in the next several years as they continue to add more ATMs in the entire areas of Nigeria. As reported, currently, web technology has also been used widely. Inline with this trend, the internet transactions in Nigeria are also increased fantastically (up to87% in a single quarter) so is the SMS and mobile banking transactions. Withthis trend, it could be said that conducting transactions electronically has been becomingnecessity and way of life of Nigerians.

By considering the trend, it is necessary that higher education institutions (HEIs) in Nigeria,where most depend on the students’ fees to operate, provide electronic payment services forthe students. Since students in an HEI might origin from all over area of Nigeria, and theirfees might be paid directly by their parents, it would be best if the payment system could beaccessed through the banks wide ATM network, internet, and cellular network established in

Nigeria. What a pity, though, the result of our survey on the HEI websites reveals that amongmore than 3000 HEIs in Nigeria, only less than one thousand have been operating “online systempayment” where most of their online systems accept payment transactions conducted in limitedor a few banks network only. Certainly, this could be considered as a drawback in terms ofcatching up with IT use and fulfilling the Nigerians needs of electronic transactions. Byconducting limited survey on a few HEIs, I also found the fact that the financial HEImanagements nowadays still encounter problems related to balancing the total of student billswith the actual payment made. They are also having difficulties in generating the up to date yetaccurate financial reports. These, of course, cause inefficiencies in the HEIs.

Developing Electronic Payment System (EPS) to handle union bills and payment is a complextask, since students’ and parents’ behavior as well as their needs, HEI managementrequirement, integration with the academic information system, IT infrastructure, banksproducts offered and banks collaboration must be addressed. The task is also challenging as theliteratures acknowledge that IT projects are high-risk. (It was reported that 34% of IT projectswere late or over budget, 31% were abandoned, scaled back or modified, only 24% werecompleted on time and on budget. Also reported that only 28% of softwaredevelopment projects were successful.)

Contributions: Despite the urgent needs of EPS for HEIs and the challenge in developing one,we could find research results of EPS concerning with e-commerce or government institutionsonly. Therefore, this paper is intended to contribute in presentingthe development method and model of EPS for student unions (a HEIs type with the largestnumber in Nigeria), which specifically ensure the project success. Our approach is: Wedefine the key success factors in the early stage of requirement gathering, then, in the followingstages, the student union government policies and system models are designed in such a way to ensure that keysuccess factors are achieved. As the banks maintain confidentiality of their system for the sakeof security, detailed discussion of the system development could only be presented for thesystem component owned by the student union. The research is conducted in a well-known polytechnic in Nigeria.

1.2    CASE STUDY: STUDENT UNION GOVERNMENT (OGITECH CHAPTER)

1.3        THE EXISTING SYSTEM

Student Union Government of Ogun State Institute of Technology Accountoffice was created by the school management during the Prince Sola Adetutu Administration with the primary objective of satisfying the institute a qualified student unionism. Therefore as an important arm of the school system it has to be consistently developed to meet this need.

The student union government currently boosts of a well-qualifiedtreasurer and committed administrative assistants who are highly meticulous in carrying out the various student payment procedures. However a few lapses have been noticed especially in the managing of student’s information in terms of accessing student payment details.    The present system operates a manual system of data collation and Processing of student registrationand union due.As a result the following problems are evident:

 1. Inaccuracy in data documentation of student’s information.

 2. Problems of data insecurity or misrepresentation.   

 3. Time wastage and other problems associated with manual method of data processing.

1.4    PROBLEMS WITH EXISTING SYSTEM

The highlighted problems of the existing system are listed below:

i.    The existing system does not does not allow online student registration of the union

ii.    The existing system is not flexible, robust.

iii.    The existing system cannot check student details online and also it cannot be used to register students’ referee details.

iv.    The existing system cannot be queried all because the size of the database is very small.

1.5    THE NEW PROPOSED SYSTEM

The new proposed system will be running on a server, using Dreamweaver as the front end and MySQL which will serve as the database at the back end with java script, cascading style sheet (CSS) and php script application to build the new system and couple it as executable program, whereby it will be running or operating on a micro-computer or a standalone computer system which will be launched on a server (WAN) for every applicant to use. The newly proposed system will be menu driven program, whereby it will display some sets of control that the user will be viewing to make selection of an object.  

The new proposed system will also be able to receive data from the keyboard in the student registration page, such as first name, last name, age, sex, local government, state, nationality, contact address, phone no, registration of student at the beginning of each session and checking of student dues etc. and it will process the data been received from the keyboard based on the condition specified by the user and the data received.

The new proposed system will be able to register:

i.    New students into the association.

ii.    All levels that students are will be registered because levels due are not the same.

iii.    The new proposed system will update and delete unwanted existing records in the database.

iv.    The new proposed system will determine the failed and successful transaction made by each student.

1.6    AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The main objective of the study is to DESIGN AND IMPLEMENT STUDENT REGISTRATION AND  ONLINE PAYMENT PORTAL. Other specific objectives are:

a.     To know the advantages of Online Payment Portal

b.     To know the associated problems with the Online Payment Portal

c.     To find solution or suggest solution to the problems of automated Online Payment Portal.

1.7    SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

The software shall be used to register student online.
