As a result of digital innovations across the world there has been an increase in accessibility to many kind of services, product or activities without any physical stress, the world us gradually becoming a global village as scholars suggested which has migrated our way of life and perspectives to a whole new level.

Technological development is no doubt one of the greatest innovative idea created by extraordinary and exceptional individuals, it reminds me of those days when we have to work to every store in order to get the kind of product or services we need but this has gotten easier through the help of digital technological innovations, I can order every accessories I need from the comfort of my home through my smart devices without moving an inch or breaking a sweat and it will be delivered to my door step, who would have thought this will be possible some years ago.

As a result of this many businesses are taking advantage of this new dimension brought by digital technological advancements to improve the productivity of their services and promote consumer satisfactions through Swift delivery of services.

Though not all services have adopted this digital methods of getting things done some enterprises and organisations with rigid structure still believe in old ways of doing things and example of such institutions or organisation is the educational sector specifically.

In developed countries, they adopted the technological process of accusation of knowledge through the introduction of Distant learning which is also available in Nigeria, a case where by you could be in Nigeria and study in Canada through your smart phone and digital devices but this practice is yet to spread through all institution and areas of academics

I could remember during the COVID 19 lock down, when all schools and public gatherings were shut down in order to reduce the rate at which the virus spreads across the country, there was no means of attending school apart from the E-learning platforms which has come to existence thanks to digital innovations. which made life easier for students across the globe.

After the whole COVID 19 pandemic drama, some schools were exposed to the significance and importance of E-learning for productive academic experience, but then it crossed my mind instead of using the E-learning platforms for just academic purpose why not use it for other academic stuff but for all schools across the globe, how will you feel if you could access all accredited schools portal and services on just one App.

Just like watpad, E-book, Amazon where you have access to information about specific writings, in the case of this app, it won't be about information about books or a platform for learning but an app whereby you can have access to all information about your choice of school.

• 1) Unlimited access to information across all school platforms: instead of going through the stress of researching about your choice of school from site with fake information, you will have direct access to different schools contact to seek information you need directly on one App, it will reduce the stress and cost of research and reduce the rate at which student jeopardise there admission based unfathomable information about the school requirements. for example in my school Moshood Abiola polytechnic, we do not accept awaiting result, your o'level must be ready before you can start your registration and for HND student, O'level year that is above your National diploma admission year is invalid. In this case most student might have paid acceptance fee and accommodation before discovering the information and the penalty is that your admission will be forfeited and acceptance fee is nonrefundable. During the process of seeking admission in Moshood Abiola Polytechnic to pursue Higher National Diploma in mass communication, I encountered a lot of difficulties due to the fact that I couldn't not have access to be necessary information I need about the school.

• 2) It will provide adequate accommodation: the app, like I have said earlier will have information about schools but not just about school affairs but information about availability of hostels, we all know that in Nigeria not all schools have hostels and some that have it, it is not available to all level of student. this app will contain detailed information about availability of hostel and private hostels, this app will keep records of locals and trustworthy agents who can get accommodation for students outside the school, instead of falling victim to scams.

• 3) It will offer a platform for tuition payment and plan: there won't be need of going through the stress of paying tuition fee yourself or going to school market, it will offer swift payment system, just like doing electronic transfer, the app will offer payment plan, you don't have to wait till your tuition fee is complete before paying it, this app will allow you save up your tuition fee on the app just like Piggyvest, little by little until it is complete. a lot of students find themselves lavishing their tuition fee because they don't have savings plan or habit, this app will assist in eradicating this. the app will be in partnership with school authorities and administrative in order to make this possible .

• 4) The app will grant feedback and rating privilege for student: A lot of times while choosing a school, students are always interested in knowing the academic performance and productivity of the school they are seeking admission from, though some of the ratings are online but not all is true, you will only find out about all the tough stuff after getting admission. this app will help students to give their feedback and ratings of things going on in their schools which allow other students make a better choice in choosing a school.

• 5) Scholarship opportunities and update: There are a lot of schools giving free scholarship to students but majority of students are not aware of the information, this app will give update on the requirements for scholarships in schools, secondly as time goes on, the app will randomly select student for scholarships by off6er to cover their school expenses in collaboration with the school of their choice.

Currently, the scope of this app is just Nigeria only, due to the knowledge of this author about the country and secondly the app will be limited to colleges, Polytechnics, universities, students in this above category, they have the necessary tools to give the kind of feedback needed to develop the app productivity and they are the primary target audience for this app
