ABSTRACT
This project is designed for the implementation of an online pension I gratuity processing information system and also to evaluate whether or not the application of a general management of the pension scheme in government institutions. In order to be able to counter some of the problems identified with the existing system. The researcher after a thorough examination of the old system came up with a design standard that will manage the whole system effectively while reducing errors due to computation. Although during the research work, certain problems encountered kept the research work on a limited ground. The researcher was able to achieve a good result which is recommended that the application of the new solution to the pension scheme management should be effected by the government in order to meet future obligations to its ageing population and ensuring their comfort after retirements.

CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Pension as a scheme is designed to cater for the welfare of the personable retired worker who had for long gained global recognition and acceptance. Workers generally whether those in the public and private sector are expected to live a comfortable life devoid of any form of dependency after their successful retirement from active service. The working lives of employees move continuously towards a certain direction i.e from employment, to growth, to retirement. While some are fortunate to save enough money to tale then through the retirement period or the “rainy day”, majority leave the service with little or no savings at all. Ideally there, governments and organizations need to identify a way of accommodating and adequately rewarding employee’s past efforts, through organized pension plans, so that they can achieve the goals of their existence (Rabelo, 2002).
1.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Managing and administering pension funds have continued to pose a major challenge to governments in Nigeria, and most of these challenges have made the existing pension schemes ineffective and inadequate. Pensioners who are mostly aged people pass through a lot of stress before they finally receiver their pensions allowance while some receive allowances are short of its supposed amount due to errors emanating from manual computational process. Despite the enactment of the pension Reform Act, June 2004 by the Federal government, why is the administering of pension funds still a challenge to the Edo state government?.
1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The study is aimed at proving a software based solution to the management lapses identified with the present productivity measurement system. Other objectives include:-
- Produce a frame work for maintaining huge and reliable, efficient and effective as well as easy to use but highly secured database system
- Reduce by more than 80% the over reliance on manual paper work and save more physical space.
- Eliminate the prospect of error due to omission and/ or commission during productivity measurement
1.3 PURPOSE OF THE STUDY
The purpose of the study is to carry out a verifiable research on the need for, and importance of an information system for measuring labour productivity in Edo State government with a view to recommend the most efficient, effective and reliable system or tool to achieve the above objectives.
