ACHALU KNOWLEDGE OF COMMERCIAL MOTOR DRIVERS REGARDING ROAD SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION IN RIVERS STATE 11 ASOGWA EMMANUEL U. HEALTH IMPLICATION BETWEEN OIL DRILLING COMPANIES AND THE HOST COMMUNITIES IN 0.05 significant at 0.05 level, He upheld. The result on table 2 aboveshowed that the calculated F-value (f- ratio) 65.407 is greater than the table value of 0.000. This shows that there is no significant difference in Socio-economic backgroundof the respondents about their perceived influence of drugson academic performance. On this basis, the hypothesis was upheld. The finding of this research was also in line with the report of Ogunsakin (1990) that drug abuse has no boundary lines, that is, men, women, children, the rich and the poor all can be a victim of drug abuse and in disagreement with the report of Singleton(2007) that individuals from broken homes and those without siblings have a greater risk of becoming problem drunker and also with that of Chau (2007) that people with low esteem are more likely to abuse drug than people with high self-esteem. This implies that irrespective of individual status at a time can either abuse drug or not. Conclusion Based on the findings of this study, it was concluded that male and female secondary school students may differs in their perception in the use of drug and it influence on academic performances. Recommendation Based on the findings of this study, the following recommendations are made thus; 1. More symposium, seminars should be organized for secondary school students where more light will be shed on the influence of drugs on academic performance 2. Male and female students in secondary school should be encouraged to form free drug club to serve as medium of campaign on illicit drug among students. 3. Parents and guardian at any level of the socio-economic should live up to their responsibilities by creating awareness among their children and wards on the influence of drugs on academic performance. 4. The secondary school curriculum should be review to reflect teachings on drug abuse and its implications on academic performance thereby giving the opportunities to all students to learn about drugs on equal scale to resolve the issues of differences in perception on effects of drug abuse among students. Finally, its definite that no nation aspires greatness will afford to fold its aims and watch its youth being gradually destroyed. The war against drug abuse and addiction must therefore be collective efforts of all citizens of the nation irrespective of class or discipline to which they belong. 224 UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN LIBRARY R e fe re n c e Abioye A.O (2006).
