Various documents are kept in the form of records. These records provide information on the past and present data of the students. The public institutions cannot perform administrative duties with accurate, timely, sufficient and relevant information. The deficiencies associated with storage, preservation and retrieval process are very cumbersome. Consequently, alternative methods provided by
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is imperative. Premised on this observation, the objectives of this study were to understand how the utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has impacted the management of students’ data creation, storage and retrieval in the University of Benin, and to comprehend the factors that have constrained the application of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the management of students’ data.
