Abstract
The role of information in decision-making cannot be over stressed. Effective decision-making demands accurate, timely, and relevant information. The use of information systems has increased in the last decade not only by the firms but also by the individuals, and even educational institutions. The deployment of Information System was encouraged by the technological breakthroughs; the advancements in telecommunications such as the internet, the globalization that created a world-wide unlimited marketplace, the strong growing for information economy, the rise of competitive digital firms and institutions. The importance of Management Information System (MIS) in tertiary institutions has evolved over time and become an integral part of educational operations in Nigeria. This paper presents MIS and effective service deliveries and prospects of MIS in Kwara State Polytechnic, Ilorin. The tool employed for this study was structured questionnaire and data collected were analysed using frequency table, simple percentage and bar chart. 100 respondents were randomly selected for the study. The study revealed the low utilization of MIS within the polytechnic by the three groups of respondents for effective service-delivery. It was also found that MIS was not adequate in the Polytechnic for teaching, learning and administrative work. The study recommends, among others, effective linkage of all the information systems to enhance its usage to the benefit of all its stakeholders.
