1.8 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
In
the course of conducting the researcher came face to face with some
practical problems. One of the constraints was uncooperative attitude of
respondent as some respondent felt the question were made to expose the
community‟s backwardness in terms of social/economic development.
Certain information which ought to have appeared in this study were
denied the researcher by the personnel of department of the corporation.
Another constraint was the task of moving from one community to
another in order to administer the questionnaire, which was very
strenuous due to distance and transportation difficulties. It was also
difficult to elicit information from illiterate villages whom in most
case resisted interview.
The researcher did not find it easy to
continue with the researcher work due to the large work in class. A
research work of this magnitude requires quite a time for a meaningful
work to be done.
