The findings also disclosed that there is significant relationship between cultural beliefs and practice as a factor that influences the perception of Oredo local government women of Cesarean section. And more ore so there is a significant relationship between the fear of death and complications of surgery as a factor that influences the attitude of Oredo local government women towards C/S. Based on the above findings, the researcher recommended that there should be awareness about C/S by the governmental institutions that would not only explain the benefits of the procedure but will also modify their misconceptions.
