Related literature were reviewed along with four (4) empirical studies. Descriptive research design was used for the study. From the total population of 10,133, comprising of 691 staff of Adult and Non-Formal Education Agency, 199 staff of Non-Governmental Organisations and 9,243 Adult Learners, a total of 370 respondents were sampled through stratified and systematic sampling technique.
