Other members of the public will have a chance to also participate in interviews. From the findings, the correlation coefficient (0.816) shown a strong positive relationship between urbanization and wetland management. This was statistically significant at 95% confidence internal since the P-value (0.00) was less than 0.05 at 95% level of significance and therefore, we reject the null hypothesis and conclude that there was no relationship between urbanization and wetland management. Public awareness and education were essentially important regarding wetland utilization, management and importance to the society. Thus, it was advocated to be initiated by the government.
