1.7 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The issue of finance for
the general research work will be a challenge during the course of
study. Correspondents also might not be able to complete or willing to
submit the questionnaires given to them.
However, it is believed that
these constraints will be worked on by making the best use of the
available materials and spending more than the necessary time in the
research work. Therefore, it is strongly believed that despite these
constraint, its effect on this research report will be minimal, thus,
making the objective and significance of the study achievable.
