In chapter three, the study deals with the methodology adopted by the researcher in collecting necessary data for the study.

Under chapter four, the researcher analyses and presents the collected data using both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Finally, in chapter five, the findings of the study are discussed and conclusions drawn there from.
