1.0       INTRODUCTION

            Promotion is the gradual upgrading of the civil servants in Nigeria.

The resultant effect is that many of such local government system find it difficult to meet up with the demands made on them by the citizenry. Multitude of them fails in their task of rural development. It has been suggested that the situation is not unconnected with poor promotion process of the employees. Therefore, it us vital that an effective computer designed system are installed in the local government as well as local government service commissions to facilitate quick promotion process. The local government service commission has been empowered by law to promote the senior civil seriates working in the local government system.

Therefore promotion according to seniority is not denied. The compilation of the senior staff nominal roll is done manually. This wastes time in the promotion process. The above-mentioned problems in the system have prompted the researcher to look for ways of curbing the collection of senior staff data manually.
