However, there is a need to investigate this phenomenon in order proffer a precise solution.

Descriptive survey design was adopted for this study with a sample of 258 undergraduate orphans were selected through accidental and snowball techniques. Data were collected with Educational Challenges Questionnaire with reliability coefficient of 0.83. Mean ranking was used to answer the research question while hypotheses were tested with t-test and ANOVA.
