ABSTRACT
The Onitsha metropolis in particular and Nigeria in general is battling with several challenges pertaining to local revenue generation for the past decade. This situation has weakened the operation and management of Onitsha Metropolitan Assembly leading to increasing loss of revenue. The study attempts to create an e-revenue generation and management system which will curb the challenges the government in revenue generation in the metropolis. This research is undertaken to proffer solutions to the problems identified in the revenue collection and management in order to provide a sound financial base. A combination of Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) and Object-Oriented Analysis and Design Methodology (OOADM) was deployed to develop a feature rich software program called Computerized Revenue Management System. The application was developed using MySQL database platform as backend and Java as front end. The implementation of the application resulted in the elimination of the identified problems.
