Abstract
This chapter is broadly divided into two parts. The first part provides a detailed description of the study area covering its geographical, economic, demographic, and educational background. The second part introduces the research methodology adopted to answer the research questions raised. This includes selection of target respondents, sample size, and its fixation procedure and sampling design covering sources of data, survey procedure, and tools used in data collection. A two-stage stratified systematic random sampling technique was adopted for collection of primary data.
