The study investigated the prevalence and patterns of sexually risky behaviour among undergraduate students in the University of Benin. It focused on how often students engage in unsafe sexual practices, such as unprotected sex, substance use before sexual activity, and failure to seek medical attention when exposed to risks. Using a descriptive survey design, data were gathered from a sample of 150 students selected through stratified sampling from the faculties of Education, Engineering, and Agriculture. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data, which was then analyzed using mean and standard deviation to measure response patterns. The instrument was validated through expert review and proven reliable through a pre-test with students outside the sample. The findings show that unsafe sexual behaviour is common among students regardless of gender or age. Many students reported engaging in sex without protection, depending on their partners for safety, and continuing sexual activity even after a condom failure. Substance use, lack of discussion about sexual health, and involvement with multiple partners were also common behaviours. These patterns were consistent across both male and female students, and among younger and older age groups. The analysis revealed that risky sexual decisions were not influenced by gender, age, or the type of institution, but may instead be shaped by social and environmental factors such as peer influence and access to health resources. This study helps to give a clearer understanding of the sexual behaviour of adolescents in the university setting and stresses the need for targeted interventions. The researcher recommends improved access to sexual health education, open communication strategies, and support services such as free contraceptives and confidential counselling. These measures are aimed at helping students make safer choices and reduce health risks. The study supports findings from similar research in other parts of Nigeria and calls for continued efforts in addressing the knowledge and support gaps that lead to these risky behaviours.

The study investigate the Impact of Study Habit Training Among School Students in Egor Local Government Area. Three research questions was raised to guide this study
The population of this study consist of all the students in the public senior secondary schools in Egor Local government Area. (Edo State Basic School List, 2024). The sample of the study consists of one hundred and fifty (150) SSII students, they were selected using the simple random sampling technique. Out of the fourteen senior secondary school in Egor Local Government Area of Edo State, three were selected using stratified random selection. One male, One female and one co-educational. Fifty students were selected from each school bringing the total number of students sampled to one hundred and fifty(150). Findings from the study revealed that; Students struggle to maintain new habits due to a lack of discipline and are sometimes negatively influenced by their friends who do not value study habits , Students do not struggle with organizing their study schedules when they are trained on how to adopt study habit and techniques that best suit their personality.The following recommendations were made for this study; There should be continuous study habit training programs integrated into the school curriculum to help students develop and sustain effective study techniques throughout their academic journey.

There should be regular workshops and seminars
conducted for both students and teachers, focusing on study strategies, time management, and goal-setting to enhance the learning environment.
