ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I will like to take this opportunity to appreciate my wife Asmau Garba Benjamin for taking this journey with me through the uneasy road of a Masters education. I appreciate my baby Raheema, who has been denied her full share of my attention during this period. And my entire extended family and friends who put up with my mood swings – it was all in a bid to get this done. I also will like to appreciate my course mates, class mates and Student Support of the University of Roehampton for their various supports in making this a success; and to all those who took time to listen, and respond to my enquiries, thank you. I wish to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Kieran Mervyn for his kind and patient support from the beginning to the end of my Masters program. In my very first module your motivation helped me bounce back from adversity, and in my very last module, your motivation defined my performance. God bless you Sir. Finally, I will like to appreciate the efforts and memories of my late Dad and Mum, Mr and Mrs Samuel Okatu Agbo, their unwavering dedication to education has sent me down this road. I also appreciate the memories of those who have quietly been a part of this huge success, including those I haven’t had the opportunity to meet – you are highly appreciated. To the SUPREME GOD, thank you JEHOVAH, for you are never not there.
