Abstract

The rational for this work is to present a statistical analysis of the need for an Integrated Data Management (IDM) system that will help in boosting economic opportunities in Nigeria. The rational for the study stems from the fact that researchers have observed that the state of data management in Nigeria have not translated adequately into increased economic opportunities. A field survey design is adopted in the study covering randomly selected business outfits in Edo State. A sample size of two hundred respondents of various businesses in Edo State was used. A structured questionnaire was used in data collection. The chi-square  test is used in analyzing the collected data. Findings show that there is the need for a country-wide intergraded management to further boost economic opportunities. It is recommended that Nigeria should as a matter of urgency set-up an efficient integrated data management (IDM) system that will serve as a pivotal point for research and other scholarly output that will lead to more economic opportunities for Nigerians.
