TIME: Since the period of this investigation is combined with academic work with fact that less than three months will be used for the whole exercise.

FINANCIAL CONSTRAINT: The problem of time constraint apart, the researcher was unable to cover all the other branches due to financial problem. However, the best will be put into it at least by asking necessary questions and hypothesis to ensure that the sample size   is a true and fair representation of nestle foods Nigeria limited.
