Data collected were analysed using frequency and percentage method. It is safe to conclude that OSBC managerial approach to issues is effective, while management performance is very high. However, in adequate freedom, poor funding, infrastructural problem and ownership influence are some of the constraints to OSBC has the management team are appointed by the government and subjected to the whim and caprice of the government at the state.
