A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 490 respondents distributed across 12 randomly selected private and public universities. The study employed stratified random sampling procedure to select responds of the study. Data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Pearson’s product moment Correlation was used to test the relationship between the variables of the study. Multiple regressions were used to test the hypotheses of the study variables.
