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.
