THE INFLUENCE OF FAMILY INSTABILITY ON THE COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN AKOKO SOUTH WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA ONDO STATE CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background of the Study The development of human is commonly described in terms of periods. Approximate age ranges are given for the periods to provide a general idea of when they begin and end. Larson (2002) argued that adolescence development (a period of transition between childhood and adulthood) involves biological, cognitive, and social-emotional changes. According to Bamisaye (1998), the family is the bedrock of attitude and value formation, both positively and negatively. The family is a primary socializing agent for the child both overtly and covertly. The child first learns his social roles through imitation of the older siblings and later, through internalized patterns and principles of behavior in the family.

The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has been in the news lately, and again, it’s about injustice; the “power tussle” between the Pro-Chancellor and Chairman of Council of the institution, Dr Wale Babalakin (SAN), and the Vice Chancellor and Chairman of the Senate, Prof. Toyin Ogundipe, took a new turn a few days ago after the Secretary to the Council, Mr. Oladejo Azeez released a statement announcing the sack of the Vice Chancellor after the Council meeting which held in Abuja. Prior to this time, there had been accusations and counter-accusations of gross misconducts and mismanagement between and among top management officers and the Chairman of Council, but that is not the focus of this piece. Prof. Ogundipe is claiming that he was not given a fair hearing, and that due process was not followed by the Council, as certain conditions were supposed to be met in accordance to the University Act before he can be removed from office. I agree with him, it is injustice, but injustice in U...
