CHAPER ONE

10     INTRODUCTION

Man in search of comfort ability struggle to meet up with good career and for this to be achieved, it has to be started as early as possible Form time man is born, he is been studied to know what likely he will be able to do as he grows up This has to do with his natural behavior and mental exercise display This continues in family parents and other relaxation acting as counselling unit until the child goes in to school In school the teacher takes over the counselling, it is   a continuous exercise until one finds his feet, then he can continues from there and equally be in a position to guide and counsel others

                   According to Harthony (1990) stated that communication system carries a mixture of voice, data and image signals that are used effectively as intelligent rods in communication system acting as switches, multiplexes, demultiplexens protocol converters Olorunsola and Ekong (2006) emphasized that the importance of computers in the exchange of electronic mail (e-mail) with other users, transfer of public

domain software from another computer into another disk so that anybody can run the programme on the computer and hold conference with a number of other users This is one of the major applications of computers in communication  The introduction of office automation and information technology has assisted to strengthen information and service delivery According to Bhuiyan (2011) major computerization and infrastructure development in the public sector in Bangladesh has been taking place to replace internal manual work processes by ICT-based automation Similarly, the impact of computer education on the efficiency of civil services Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized The civil servants need to be educated in ICT, so that the use of typewriters, filling of information on papers in cabinets, keeping of documents and letters in files are modernized through automotion

                 The stages where much work is carried out on counselling is in secondary schools This is a stage when a child is grown to be able to understand maturely and when the child’s attitude is fully studied in line with academic performance In all secondary school across  the country , there exist a guidance and counsellor office where people knowledgeable in  the area of psychology are employed in order  to help advise the younger ones  in  school which  way forward to their future career There people through class visitation, Observing students during recreation and calling on them at intervals for questioning, came to know the students betters and be  able to guide and counsel them in their future career probably in university or in any  other area of endeavor

The job of counselling in secondary school is not an easy job to be taking into consideration the number students involved with respect to the number of staff involved It is always very difficult to handle all the students and to remember everything about the students  This Counseling exercise needs a sophisticated   system for the operation of counselling alliterates some of the problem associated with exercise

Personal behaviour and area of interest, they keep very close marks with the students to make sure that no stone is left unturned This aspect of ones life is taken very seriously in schools because that is mainly the reason people go to school for the academics tests and examination only The battle of career choice is handed over to individual when he/she attain a stage of being able to duct for himself what he/she really wants and how best possible to get such height The person can steer the wheels directly to his destination or deviate in the other way due to carelessness or youthful exuberance; but the end justifies the means Also, sometime due to laxity and incapability on the side of the career guidance and counsellor in schools, most of the students are led astray This is mainly due to human approach towards the implementation the exercise which can be based at anytime In his own recommendation, Hook advised the computerization of the career guidance department for effectives and reliable react on the department activities

Holyfield (1997) argues that a good career in life, makes a lot of meaningful process in life He made this assertion that what without comfort and where is comfort without a good career; In his own views, it takes a long and rough way to arrive and clinch a good career but when  one  finally gets to it, life comes to be what nature  made  it be, life  remains unstable like a wondering man in the career is achieved through carefulness and hard work, desire of sentiments and other side effects which can thwart the smooth direction of ones futures Holly field (1997)   made it clear and that life is associated with a good career  and  that  such a career is  what can give full meaning of life a priceless gift of nature

 Statistics shows that people who find good career are enjoying high standard of living and while the people who find good career are enjoying, the unlucky ones cry  of frustration and negatives social factors that limits life
