The Federal University of Agriculture Veterinary Teaching Hospital was used the case study for this work. A computer web based system called ¡°Veterinary Duties Scheduler¡± was developed to this effect using PHP as the programming language, MySQL as the database and Unified Modelling Language (UML) as system design tool. After the new system was implemented, the results gotten showed clearly that staffs were now able to view their duty roster from any location by simply logging into the system using their staff-id and password. Therefore, the new system was able to solve most of the problems associated with the existing manual system of duty scheduling as witnessed in the case study. http://pubs.sciepub.com/jcsa/8/1/5/jcsa-8-1-5.pdf duty schedule veterinary hospital Tabu
