1.6 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
In a study like this type, a lot of setback are bound to come up, this work is restricted by many variables.
1.
TIME: Since the research will be carried out at students level, the
researcher will have to allot his/her time such that the demand for
their courses will have to be met. Moreover, since the interview will be
conducted during the working days of the work the researcher will have
to forfeit some of her lectures in order to successful conduct the
study.
2. FIANCE: insufficient fund will be another factor
inhibiting this research project. The work was single – handing
sponsored by the researcher. And as a student, the project was sponsored
from her meager pocket money. As a result, she finds it difficult to
cover some inevitable expenses like transport, stationeries, typing and
binding labour and so on. This in turn is bound to affect the sample
size and the geographical area of coverage of the study .
3.
RESPONDENT: The inability of the officials concerned to produce adequate
and relevant information required for the research project has been one
of the most frequently encountered constraints by researchers. Apart
from the fact that some of the staff that will be required to give data
are not technically skillfull in the area of study, many of them may
think that the researcher is one of the government functionaries that
come to question their activities or to access them for tax payment.
This may be due to the fact that the school authority has been reluctant
to introduce the researcher to the establishment formally by issuing
identity papers or introduction papers to the students.

was the general economic problem facing the entire country as at this
point in time when the research was carried out considering the above
constraints, the researcher was able to come up with a good results.
