 DEDICATION

I dedicate this project to God Almighty, whose guidance and protection have supported me through

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to several individuals and lecturers who have

supported me throughout my National Diploma journey. Firstly, I am deeply grateful to my

supervisor, Mr. Ajinaja M.O, for his unwavering enthusiasm, patience, insightful feedback,

practical advice, and invaluable ideas, which have been instrumental in guiding me through my

projects. His vast knowledge and extensive experience have been crucial to the successful

completion of this research, and without his support and mentorship, this project would not have

been possible. I couldn’t have asked for a more dedicated supervisor.

I also wish to express my sincere appreciation to Mr. Ajinaja M.O for graciously accepting me as

one of his students. His support and impactful guidance have been essential to my progress on this

journey. Thank you so much, sir.

I am equally grateful to the dedicated staff members of my department, including Mr. Ganiyu, Dr.

Fakoya, Mrs. Enigbokan, Mrs. Johnson, and Mr. Ibiyomi, along with many others who consistently

offered their support and assistance.

Lastly, I would like to acknowledge my fellow course mates. It was a pleasure sharing knowledge

and experiences with each of you over the past two years.

Thank you all for your encouragement and support!

 ABSTRACT

The Supervisor Student Project Approval Portal (SSPAP) is developed to streamline and optimize
the management of student projects within academic institutions. Traditional project approval
processes often face challenges related to inefficiencies, delays, and communication gaps between
students and supervisors. SSPAP addresses these issues by automating key workflows, centralizing
information, and offering a structured approach to project submissions, approvals, and feedback.
Key features of the portal include tools for managing supervisor profiles, tracking project statuses,
and organizing presentation schedules, all of which enhance transparency and efficiency in
academic project management. Through SSPAP, institutions can facilitate better communication,
improve administrative oversight, and foster a more organized and transparent project approval
environment that benefits both students and faculty.
