Abstract
ABSTRACT
This study examined the political awareness of undergraduates of Federal University Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria. The research aimed to determine the level of political awareness among students and investigate whether gender and level of education influence political awareness. A descriptive survey research design was adopted, and data were collected from 100 undergraduate students selected through a multi-stage sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection, and the data obtained were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings revealed that the majority of students possessed a high level of political awareness, with a pass rate of 94% in the political knowledge assessment. The study further established that there was no significant difference in political awareness based on gender or academic level. The research concluded that political awareness among undergraduates of Federal University Lokoja is relatively high and recommended continuous political education and civic engagement programs to sustain and improve students’ political consciousness.
