Abstract :

 

Higher Institutions of learning represent the most sophisticated secondary agents of socialization that could easily transformed social behaviours of individuals. These institutions ing together not only different peoples from varied albeit complicated socio–economic and political backgrounds, but formally inculcate values and attitudes to students. More so, many individuals, especially students that associate with these institutions are within the age acket that is too sensitive and receptive to change. The situation is interestingly more germane to female gender, which not only too receptive to change but may be socio–culturally and economically too vulnerable. This paper investigates factors influencing behavioural change among Muslim female students of selected tertiary institutions in Niger State, Nigeria. The paper argues that Muslim female students of these schools, with their unique way of life are not only too vulnerable and receptive to such change factors, but other socio–cultural and institutional factors make their lives in these institutions troubling, worrying and could easily change from good to worse. The solution to this reality and social dilemma is to adhere strictly to the good teachings of Islam.
