I have researched through past two years, while gathering professional knowledge from my previous work experiences. Thus, I m very much anxious to implement my dedication in this field with all my acquired skills to achieve success. I am a responsible and ambitious person and passionate about bringing a change in the society for well being of the society members. Instead of my experience, which is not very unique, I can assure that I will obtain a wider understanding regarding cultural disciplines and linguistic aspects very soon, which would exceed your expectations.

I am obliged that the current development of MIS science in Nigeria is related to my study in MIS, which ensures my promising contribution in the development of Nigeria. I sincerely expect that you will seriously consider my application, as your decision would have a great impact upon my future.

I have developed my management skills with the help of my experiences as the team leader in the assignment groups in my graduate course.

The management information system was developed in 1980s in US, as a new scientific discipline and it has played an essential role, the fields where the system has been applied. It has significantly enhanced the efficiency of management along with the cost reduction. United States has acquired the advanced technologies and theories regarding MIS, but Nigeria has been shown to lag behind the international standards in the development and effective implementation of MIS. The lack of efficient information management system led to inadequate communication for managing information effectively between different functional departments of a company. The result is a low-efficiency operation and reduced user satisfaction. It has affected the sole development of the country. In addition, the current underdevelopment of the country reflected the scope of further development. Therefore, the application of advanced information technology management would be able to enhance the efficiency of organizational operations in the country. I want to apply for the Master’s program in MIS at your university for obtaining the advance knowledge in the information management technology and to apply these knowledge i n my country for promoting the development of MIS in Nigeria.
