A survey research design was adopted for this study, and data collection relied on both primary and secondary methods. Questionnaires were used as the data collection instrument, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed to analyze the data collected from the field survey. The null hypothesis was rejected, with X2 = 94.4000, P ≤ 0.000, which is less than a 5% level of significance.
