The data were collected using a 28 items questionnaire designed by the researchers. The questionnaire was administered on all the respondents, but only 83 (80%) were returned and used for the data analysis. The research questions were answered using mean scores with boundary limits: 4.50-5.00 (very high extent), 3.50-4.49 (high extent), 2.50-3.49 (moderate extent), 1.50-2.49 (low extent) and 1.00-1.49 (very low extent). The null hypotheses one and two were tested using t-test at 0.05 level of significance, while the third null hypothesis was also tested at 0.05 with the aid of ANOVA. The decision rule was that a null hypothesis would be accepted if its p-value was ≥0.05 and rejected if
