Taro Yamane’sformula at 5% and 1% error tolerance and 95% and 99%> level ofconfidence, but 300 were returned while 22 were not returned. Analyzing the hypotheses with descriptive statistic and analysis ofvariance. Result obtained revealed that electronic management system has significant effect on the attainment of banking organizational goals (F-cal=2.752>Ftab=2.353, P=0.020 < a=0.05), also that data base management has significant effect on the attainment ofbanking organizational goal (F-cal =3.0148> F-tab =2.353, P=0.003 <a =0.01) and also, human interaction has significant effect on the attainment of banking organizational goals. (F-cal =3.367> F-tab =2.353, P=0.000 < a=0.01). using analysis ofvariance, the result revealed that networking management has no significant effect on the attainment of banking

organizational goals(F-cal = 1.590 < F-tab = 1.974, P=0.177>a= 0.05 ), while interbank network has significant effect on the attainment ofbanking organizational goals (F-cal = 7.178> F-tab =1.974, P=O.OOO<a= 0.05 ) andfinally that interbank transaction has significant effect on the attainment of banking organizational goals (F-cal = 5.111> F-tab =1.974, P=0.001 <a =0.05). the study recommended that such information system needs to be strategically managed so as to bring about sound and profitable organization and thereby increase organizational chance ofsurviving amidst daunting challenges and also banks should ensure adequate security ofavailable ICTfacilities for effective performance and prevention ofloss ofinformation, the banks should also give their staffmore adequate training and proper orientation to ensure the effective use ofinformation systems in the provision and circulation ofinformation for efficient and effective decision-making.
