INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Database is the set of related data and the system it is organized. The database management system" (DBMS) consist of an integrated set of computer software which facilitate the use and the access to datas contained in the database and to interface with different databases even though certain limitations may exist. The DBMS is a system which facilitate the entry, storage and retrieval of large amount of data as well as the management and organization of data. The advent of big data is as result of the generation of large volume of data. Bachman, Charles W. (1973). According to the Journal of Science 2008, “Big Data depicts the advancement of human cognitive processes, consisting of large data sets which cannot be processed by the ability of current technology, Gartner views it as large volume, high-velocity, and large variety information assets which need new forms of processing for enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization.
The concept of Cloud Computing proffers a type of computing which deliver services through the Internet or network of servers. The objective of Cloud Computing is to utilize computing power to carry out a large pool of instruction per second. Cloud Computing utilizes networks of a large group of servers with specialized connections to disseminate processed data among the servers. The use of cloud computing technologies, enables the installation of a single software in a computer which is the host computer and users can log into a web-based service that host all the programs to accessed it. The study seeks to appraise the future of database management in the era of big data and cloud computing in Nigeria.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The processing of large volume of data has exacted numerous challenges.
These Cloud computing technology poses a lot of security issues due to the fact that it involves numerous technologies which include networks, databases, operating systems, virtualization, resource allocation, containerization, resource scheduling, transaction management, load balancing, concurrency control, managing contents distribution in a content delivery network (CDN) and memory management. The problem confronting the study is to appraise the future of database management in the era of big data and cloud computing in Nigeria.

1.9 DEFINITION OF TERMS
CLOUD COMPUTING DEFINED
Cloud Computing proffers a type of computing which deliver services through the Internet or network of servers. The objective of Cloud Computing is to utilize computing power to carry out a large pool of instruction per second. Cloud Computing utilizes networks of a large group of servers with specialized connections to disseminate processed data among the servers. The use of cloud computing technologies, enables the installation of a single software in a computer which is the host computer and users can log into a web-based service that host all the programs to accessed it.
DATA BASE MANAGEMENT DEFINED
The database management system" (DBMS) consist of an integrated set of computer software which facilitate the use and the access to datas contained in the database and to interface with different databases even though certain limitations may exist that limit access to particular data. The DBMS is a system which facilitate the entry, storage and retrieval of large amount of data as well as the management and organization of data.
PROCUREMENT DEFINED
Procurement is defined as the process of searching, finding, agreeing to terms, and buying goods, services, or works from an external source, through the process of tendering or competitive bidding process.
BIG DATA DEFINED
Big Data depicts the advancement of human cognitive processes, consisting of large data sets which cannot be processed by the ability of current technology, Gartner views it as large volume, high-velocity, and large variety information assets which need new forms of processing for enhanced decision making, insight discovery and process optimization.
