Research Design
This research is a descriptive survey research. According to Daramola (2011), descriptive survey reports happenings and events the way they are. It also ensures the determination of opinions. It looks carefully at a phenomenon and describes exactly what it is. Thus, a descriptive survey research would be chosen to enable the researcher to make useful deduction and judgment at the end of the research with the aid of the questionnaire. This research made use of questionnaires to elicit information from respondent because most people are familiar to it and it reduces bias. Likewise the researcher's own opinions will not influence the respondent to answer questions in a certain manner and there are no verbal or visual clues to influence the respondent.
