CHAPTER ONE
Background of the Study
Currently in Nigeria, the complexity of organizational functions has shown the need for management information system, which could enhance the realization of organizational objectives.

Information flows is the bedrock of any organization because adequate and good information assist the administrator/manager to make sound decisions.

Thus, the computer has made management functions relatively easier.
Aliche (2009) defines information technology as the electro-manual method, which operates with the use and application of computers with a mechanical system in sending information, receiving messages, storing data and statistics and ensuring that the data stored are readily retrievable as at when needed (P.I).
Akinyemi (2012) pointed out that the impact of computer are great and include greater efficiency, high quality products, increased productivity and convenience of operation as well as better services delivery. Thus it is a means through which educational problems are taken care of.

Therefore, it is the application of technology to solve educational problems.

Indeed, there is rapid development of computer which are boost to information handling and processing as well as educational management.
Olowe (2012) opined that computer is an incredible and fundamental tool in addressing issue at ease and faster rate.

This of course, has been the strategy that has adopted by administration of secondary schools to see to the effectiveness and efficiency in the administration.
According to Bukoye (2008), computer education in Nigeria can be applied as an integrated learning system through drills and practice, tutorial and dialogue system, information handling, simulation and gaining.

The state of computer literacy in Nigeria can be traced to the year 1964, when the I.B.M 1401 computer was to first donate to the University of Ibadan.

Yet, thirty-seven (37) years after the introduction, Nigerian teachers and students are not versed in the use of computer technology.

For computer to be effectively used in Nigerian schools, that is, from primary to tertiary institutions, every teacher and administrator must become computer literate (New watch Magazine, 1989),
Some researchers maintained that the computer is used for administrative purposes in the school for maintaining student records and scheduling classes.

It can also be applied directly to instruction for ‘CAI’ the Computer Assisted Instruction is a special packaged for using the computer directly as medium of instruction and as information delivery system.

It presents instructional materials to the students and interprets response.

The three ways of utilizing computer in education this include: for effectiveness administrative system, as problem solving tool and as the basis of an integrated learning system (Adewoyin 2000).
The researcher therefore, intends to investigate the computer education on the school administrative performance in public secondary schools in Oorelope Local Government Area, Oyo State.
Statement of the Problem.
As indispensable as computer is, it seems difficult to determine its administrative performance in public secondary schools.

Although, computer education has been introduced at the secondary school level of Nigerian education administrative officers are yet to really understand administrative performance of the computer because of the inadequate training of the personnel, insufficient computer for personnel, lack of competent hands to impact the knowledge of computer, and insufficient fund to provide adequate computer in schools.

Considering the increased of the student’s population, computerization of the student’s results, the increase workload of tasks, teaching and learning processing in the school are the problems militating against the administrative performance of personnel in the use of computer.
The researcher intends to find out the influence of computer education on the administrative performance in public secondary schools in Oorelope L.G.A, Oyo State.
