Abstract: This study ascertained database and risk management competencies required of polytechnic OTM graduates in Gombe State, Nigeria for electronic records management. Two research questions and four null hypotheses guided the study. The study adopted survey research design, and 66 administrative supervisors were studied without sampling. A Self-developed questionnaire with 25 items which was face validated by experts in Business Education and Measurement and Evaluation were used for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was determined using pilot testing and data calculated analyzed using Cronbach Alpha formula which yielded correlation values of .91 and.85 for clusters B1 to B2 respectively with an overall reliability value of .88. Mean, standard deviation, ANOVA and t-test were used for data analysis. Findings showed that database management competencies, and risk management competencies were highly required of OTM graduates of polytechnics in Gombe State, Nigeria for electronic records management. Years of experience and educational attainment were not significant factors in the mean ratings of respondents on the extent database management competencies were required of OTM graduates of polytechnics for electronic records management. However, while years of experience did not moderate risk management skills, educational attainment moderated respondents’ opinions in this regard. Based on the findings of the study, the researchers concluded that; OTM graduates in polytechnics in Gombe State, Nigeria highly required database and risk management competencies for effective management of the institutions’ records. It was recommended that administrators of Nigerian polytechnics should constantly re-train OTM graduates working in their institutions by providing in-service programmes such as workshops, seminars and conferences to enable them up-date their database and risks management competencies for effective records management
