This research work was carried out, to know the importance of Network Systems in Osun State. 4 Local governments, namely: (Ife East, Ife South, Ife Central and Ife North), local government areas were sampled. 4,800 open questionnaires were distributed to the 4 Local Governments, out of which 1,200 was used in each local government. A total of 48 different locations were visited and sampled in all the four Local Governments, out of which 100 questionnaires were used in each location. It was gathered that above 75% of the people supported, that network systems was important in Osun State, while less than 25% of the people could not even understand whether network systems was important or not. The results from the questionnaires when using Pearson one-tailed correlation coefficient, however revealed that there was no significant difference from all the business centre visited and sampled, (p < 0.01) table 5. This shows a strong positive correlation, which implying that, computer network systems is strongly influenced and enhanced people’s support, from the four local government areas of Osun State Nigeria, and therefore had made the research work to become a reality, (p < 0.01) table 5.
