Commenting on the vision behind the project, Ozo-Onyali, said: “Around us, we have seen that managing school records has been one major challenge faced by school. This realization is important, but much more important is the action taken to ensure that a good management system is deployed to effectively manage the ever-growing school and thus simplifying school workloads.
