The researcher-made questionnaire duly validated and tested for reliability was used to gather the data in this study. The statistical tools used were frequency count, percentage and mean for the descriptive statistics; and Mann Whitney/U-test, Kruskall Wallis/ H-test, Spearman rho for inferential statistics. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The statistical Package for Social Sciences was used in the processing of the data.
