In Uyo city Polytechnic, there are various information concerning students that requires management, such information are security affairs, library functions, accommodation, co-curriculum activities, Department records; our area of focus is on accommodation system in Uyo City Polytechnic and developing a databases system for the allocation of students accommodation is the essence of this study.
