The differences in the respondents' expression on the bases of gender, type of institution and family type were also examined. The descriptive survey was considered appropriate for this study. Two Hundred students of tertiary institutions in Abeokuta were selected using Purposive and Simple Random Sampling Techniques. The participants responded to the Motivation for Alcohol Consumption Questionnaire, (MACQ).

The data collected were analyzed using t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) statistical tools at 0.05 alpha level. Results showed that the motivation for alcohol consumption due to desire to reduce academic stress (X: 3.29), prevailing peer group influence (X: 3.29), feelings of inferiority complex (X: 3.04), and desire to overcome psychological problems (X: 2.94). It was also revealed that there were no significant differences in the motivation for alcohol consumption among students of tertiary institutions in Abeokuta on the bases of gender (t: 1.96>0,30), type of institution (f: 3.00>2.67) and family type (f: 3.00>1.01). The implications of this study for counselling practice and professional counsellors is that effort should be put in place to dissuade the minds of students of tertiary institutions from consuming alcohol and direct their energy towards self-benefitting activities. Counsellors should assist students to wade off prevailing peer influence and help them to develop good study habit skills. Counsellors need to counsel students of tertiary institutions irrespective of gender or type of institution, to employ appropriate strategies in coping with academic stress rather than consuming alcohol.Item PATIENTS’ PERCEPTION OF HEALTH WORKERS’ ATTITUDE TOWARDS THEIR CARE AND WELLBEING IN KWARA SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF KWARA STATE, NIGERIA(Department of Educational Foundations and Counselling, Faculty of Education, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria., 2015-09) ODEBODE, Aminat Adeola; MUSTAPHA, Mulikat Ladi A; ADEBOYE, Adenike A.Patients’ perception of health workers attitude towards their care is likely to influence the speed of their recovery.

Health Counsellors should be employed and involved in organisation of seminars and workshops from time to time in order to assist health workers to develop positive behavioural disposition towards patients.Item Rationale for Students’ Involvement in Cultism as Expressed by Undergraduates of Tertiary Institutions in Ilorin Metropolis, Kwara State(Faculty of Arts and Education, Lead City University, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, 2017-06) ODEBODE, Aminat Adeola; SAIDU, Bukola; YUSUF, Habibat T.; ADEGUNJU, Kabir AdewaleCultism has attained a frightening status in Nigerian tertiary institutions.
