Education is a vehicle which conveys people from unknown to known or from abstract to concrete knowledge and facilitates their ability to distinguish wrong from right in all undertakings. This is why education is regarded as the totality of experiences that pave way for people in any society to understand the world they live in and be able to manage issues well. Olawoyin and Ojewale in Olawoyin, Adeleye and Olaniyi (2015), asserted that education remains the most essential element that empowers citizens of any nation to achieve their desired interest in the world of business.

The Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN, 2013), stated that one of the aims and objectives of education is to help the child acquire appropriate productive skills, abilities and competencies both mental and physical as equipment to live in and contribute to societal development. In order to achieve the goals and objectives of education in Nigeria, government has geared efforts towards making individuals contribute to the growth of the nation’s economy and become self-reliant through well-developed curriculum covering academic and vocational subjects at the secondary school level.
