The data collected was statistically analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation to analyse the research questions and One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses generated for this study at 0.05 alpha levels. From the findings of the study, the mean scores of the research questions were higher than the acceptable level
