Five (5) research questions were raised. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The entire population of 309 female artisans in Edo South, Central and North Senatorial Districts was used as sample. The questionnaire was analysed using Mean and Standard Deviation. The decision rule was based on 3.0 such that any calculated mean equal or greater than 3.0 was regarded as agreed while less than 3.0 as disagreed.
