A total of four hundred copies of questionnaire were administered to solicit information from the respondents using systematic random sampling technique while three hundred and sixty-four copies were retrieved and analysed using descriptive statistics of simple percentages, mean, standard deviation.

Findings also revealed that climate change is mainlycaused by human activities which in turn affect socio-economic activities in the study area. The study calls for proper government policies formulation and enforcement towards mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change. As a matter of urgency.
