Dedication
I dedicate this report to the Almighty who has been my wisdom, strength and for the sufficient grace He
supplied to make this report a success both financially and otherwise.
To my lecturers who gave me the push to write, their keen advices and lectures can’t be downturned.
To my fellow students that worked with me in the field, to make appropriate interviews were necessary and to
the General Agricultural Faculty of the Niger Delta University for giving us a level playing ground to undertake
studies in her institution of learning.
Acknowledgment
This report work, which is the first of its kind I have worked upon, was very strenuous and time consuming. If I
were to do it all alone maybe the purpose may not have been achieved or ideas conveyed inarguably but with
the aid of the following educationalist, friends and family members I was able to finish this report to Gods glory.
I sincerely appreciate Dr. O. A. Aghoghovwia my amiable and most respected lecturer, Dr. T Kingdom a man
of timber and caliber which works were a source of aspiration, to my unique and humble friend and typist; Bro.
Barro Godsave W, Benjamin Miretei Eki my fellow colleague and Obomunu Bestman. This list will not be
complete without my wonderful parents; Mr & Mrs Augustine UK, that has been a backbone.
