(b)        FINANCE:     As a student, I encountered a lot of financial constraints, and this can hindered or statistical data during the course of my study.
ii.                  Another constraint is the non-response to my respondents. Their non-challant attitude and above all, their level of ignorance let to some of the unreliable results obtained in this study.
iii.                Furthermore, lack of relevant text books and periodicals (secondary data) also posed by the prevailing economic crunch.
