ACKNOWLEDGEMENTI wish to offer our profound gratitude to the Almighty
God who provided the strength,
wisdom, and patience to all those who helped to make this study possible. A particular debt of gratitude is owed to my supervisor, Dr. Seth Nkrumah. He opened my eyes to the virtue
in hard work and without him, this report would have been ordinary. Finally, I thank my family's immense support and admonition, who have helped me persevere and overcome every challenge
we have faced in life, including those encountered in this research,
by their encouragement, motivation and support
