1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The
Government of Nigeria in 2004 through its national policy on education
highlighted the need for guidance and counseling services in Nigeria’s
educational system to address the young people’s apparent lack of
awareness concerning potential career choices and skills on how to deal
with some social problems. This called for the training of teachers in
the field of guidance and counseling (Republic of Nigeria, 2007). This
study calls for an evaluation on follow-up of what has transpired in
our schools since then, for reports of rampant students‟ riot and
property destruction have continued to feature up to this moment. There
seems to be a real social problem and this study actually seeks to find
out the cause of this predicament, if it has to do with lack of adequate
training among the teacher counselor or limitations put forward by the
school administration or the laxity of the parents, the students
deviance, or poor governance
