Information matters a lot in all aspects of our daily chores. Information is required for good decision making process because they are the basic guiding principles of management. For instance in academic, the students need information for the purpose of planning, organizing and controlling of his daily academic activities.

If a student is not not informed properly, he/ she may not be able to perform well in his or her academic career. Information drive the economy, government, public through printed materials like newspapers, magazines, journal, textbooks, and many others.

Orally like radio, television, public address system, daily face to face conversation, and many others. Proper information aid good and timely decision making.

I was uninformed that there is a class test.

When I was back from school one day, in school we have online platform to receive information concerning our academic activities. During the power outage in Uyo metropolis, I found it difficult to charge my phone. As usual I called my friend in the morning when I woke up on Wednesday to enquire if there is lecture.

My friend told me that there is a seminar for all the lecturer that all activities in the faculty that day is cancelled. To my greatest surprised at evening I heard that there was a class test, and I missed the test because my phone went of when the information was passed online.

After the test, I tried to write and explain to my lecturer through my class representative that my device was down when the information was disseminated if he will agree to give me a make up test. Since that day, I decided to pay for my phone charge when there is power outage in my environment to avoid being uninformed.
