1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
Guidance
and counselling is a field of study that has been introduced in our
school curriculum in order to produce professionally trained personnel
who will render retentive and problem solving services to individuals or
group in all area of life shows that its services are needed almost
every where both hospitals, nursing home, rehabilitation centre,
schools, banks, social welfare’ units, police stations, church and
mosque e.t.c although here in Nigeria, the services of guidance and
counselling is most pronounced in the schools.
The knowledge of
guidance and counseling is most pronounce who practically applied to
students to guide tern against problem that might arise due to wrong
decision making and action and also aim at proffering solution to
existing problems.
The existence of guidance “and counselling can be
said to be as old as mankind, right from creation, man has never been
all-knowing; he lacks knowledge in one things or the other and there
fore seeks help from other people towards the solution of his problems.
Traditionally,
the importance of guidance and counselling can not be over emphasized
people sought for advice and help from other who are more knowledgeable,
experienced or rise from solution of their problems, the traditional
counselling could be those men and women who possessed supernatural
power of healing, foreseeing the future and mediating between man and
the god, these people served as consultant and then preferred solution
to most of the problem brought before them due to the simplicity of man
and his environment then.
However, due to the complexity of the
environment and the society at large, the overall philosophy and
objectives of the nation of the word, the service provided by the
traditional counseling apparently become inadequate. Various problems
and confusion are encountered by people in all areas of human Endeavour
as Rocher (1991 .1) notes;
With the tremendous increase in the number
of students in the institution of higher learning extremely wide range
of course of study and job opportunities, rapid charging mo/work of work
and great complexity of students needs and problems, there is a
definite need for providing a fine nucleus of guidance and counseling by
matured, experience and professionally qualified person for the
development of all the unique potentialities of the students for
individual fulfillment in particular and social (p1) and natural
upliftment in Nigeria.
This fact makes tend to have professionally
trained guidance and counseling personnel in all works of life
especially in our Educational institution very compelling this win
minimized what would have been in mistakes to a very minimal and
bearable degree.
From the aforesaid, there is no doubt that the
realization of our Education institution objectives depends mostly on a
full guidance and counseling programme. The Federal Government of
Nigeria is realized its immense importance of therefore is regarded it’s
as a vital tool for the realization of the national objective and
clearly state in that National Policy on Education that;
In view of
apparent ignorance of many young people about career prospects and in
view of personality maladjustment among school children, career offices
and counseling will be appointed in post primary institution. (F.G.N
1998 p43).
Base on this, “counseling is expected to be on integral
cost effective component of the Educational process aimed at curbing
wastage of talent and enhancing appropriate decision making and personal
adjustmentâ€
According to Denga (1986) “it was also envisaged tat by 1980, a school in Nigeriaâ€.
