Abstract:
In this work, a mobile-based market day notification system called Ọjọ՜-Ọjàis designed. The design is based on the popular concept within South-West Nigeria where a specific day is usually set aside for a particular market. Such market day is usually significant to traders, farmers, market women, etc., who will bring their products from distances for individuals who come to the market to take advantage to cheaper quality products with different varieties. Thus, the design of the system is timely to leverage the benefits of information technology/mobile apps to everyday activities such as market notification alert. The design is based on the data collection regarding information on the most important markets within Ogun State. Based on this information, the market day alert notification system is programmed to allow users to specify their market of choice and items to be purchased. In this way, the user is saved from the undue stress of uncertainty regarding market day activities.
