It addresses in detail the study area, research design, survey population, sample design, sample size, sampling procedure, choice of data sources and collection tools, data processing, analysis and presentation as well as the limitations of the study. Chapter Four presents the research findings. Chapter Five presents the discussions. Chapter six addresses the conclusions and recommendations.
