Abstract

Education is a definite and ground-breaking channel for a high standard of living, an opportunity for intellectual interactions, social networking amongst current academic professionals, college and university graduates, at local, state, and community. The primary purpose of life-long education is to promote personal and professional development, and advancement of the national and world economy. Ancient times support the premise that after continued self-regulating attempts, the time has come for current and future graduates, professionals, and the entire education community to focus on the primacy of computer information technology, which has widened human access to vital data, video, and information transmission and communication, also created an irreversible phenomenon in instruction and learning endeavors, and continues to serve as the best medium for multiple sources of information and communication. The emergence of computer information technology has equally created a wide range of opportunities for greater production; doing away with the lingering global language barriers, and creating a working podium in the academic and political world. It is a proven tenet that the continued use of computer information technology and associated devices such as the Internet, mobile telephones, and electronic mail for data, information transmission, and communication has improved the standard of living and enhanced the exchange of ideas, effective method of learning endeavours, a decrease in alarming attrition rate of students dropping out of the degree programmes and improvement in academic performance.
