This study examined the factors influencing the selection and acquisition of clothing items
among undergraduates in Federal Polytechnic Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State. Many undergraduates often
find themselves in situations where they borrow clothes for social events like parties, buy clothes on credit, or allocate a significant portion of their pocket money to clothing purchases. These behaviors stem from a desire to maintain a certain social image, adhere to fashion trends,
or fit in with peers, often leading to financial strain and dependence on borrowing. Three research questions and one hypothesis guided the study.

needs of Guidance and Counseling (G&C) students in Nigeria. The research involved 327
academic staff from the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike (MOUAU) and Alvan Ikoku Federal University of Education (AIFUE). Three research questions and one hypothesis guided the study. Data were collected using a validated 18-item “Teacher-Educators
Questionnaire on English language needs of guidance Counseling Nigerian Students” (TOENGC). The instrument’s reliability was established using Cronbach’s alpha, yielding a coefficient of 0.85. Findings revealed a strong consensus among educators on the importance of specialized English language skills for G&C practice, including field-specific vocabulary, academic writing, and intercultural communication.
