It was also discovered in the study that the absence of a reliable filing/correspondence systems in the institution affect the efficiency of office operations.
Recommendations are made based on the findings of the study, because filing/correspondence form the core of activities in any institution, there is every need for these two tasks to be accorded due recognition and seen as a system that should be properly administered. Every institution should therefore ensure that due attention is paid to the maintenance and administration of filling/correspondence systems.
