Decision-making is a very importance element of administrative leadership Aliyu (2002) comment on decision making as the process of choosing from among two or more available options in response to situation requiring altered action. This that in decision making several alterations from which one alternative is chosen is usually at one’s disposal. Infect (Aliyu 2002) opined that decision making is the actual selection. Among several alternative in taking a course of action. It is process of deliberating, calculating or reflecting over an issue either consciously or unconsciously and reflection is known as decision is the selection of alternative in order to achieve a give objective.
