ACKNOWLEDGEMENT All praises and gratitude goes to Almighty Allah who has given me the great privilege and strength to have gone this far. It would never have been possible without Him. I appreciate the great effort of my supervisor, Prof. G.N.O. Ezeri. Thank you sir for ensuring that my work is well done despite your busy schedule. Also to other lecturers in the department who have nurtured me till this moment; Prof. Akegbejo-Samsons, Prof. Otubusin, Dr. Idowu, Dr. Agbon, Dr. Abdul, just a few to mention, I say thank you. My successful journey in life has been accomplished with the moral, physical, financial, and spiritual support of my Parents, Mr. and Mrs. R.A. Adejola. I am most grateful. May Allah continue to shower His blessings on you and strengthen you. My acknowledgement will be incomplete without appreciating my siblings, Yusuf, Abdul Afeez, and Moshood, and to my cousins, Mrs. Aminah, Mrs Ogunbiyi (Nee Adejola), Abdul Rahman and Ahmed Adejola.
