PII 079: Farmers' Attitude Towards Involvement of Farmers' Organizations In Provision of Extension Services [RESEARCH PROJECT]*<\/h1>\n
\n
\n

ABSTRACT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Inadequate provision of reliable and qualitative extensionservices to peasant and other farmers in Nigeria has remained a chronic problem (working against) the nation\u2019s agricultural development drive. Using a simple random sample of 70 farmers, this study dealt with the attitude of farmers towards their organization\u2019s involvement in the provision of extension services and the factors influencing such attitude. It was found that majority of the respondents were favorably disposed towards the idea of involving farmers\u2019 organization<\/p>\n

Type of farmers\u2019 organization, the gender of the farmers and geographical location of the farmers are highly but negatively correlated with the farmers\u2019 attitude towards their organization\u2019s involvement in extension. The regression analysis showed that the type of farmers\u2019 organization (beta = -0.74) is the single most important factor that determines the nature of attitudes towards farmers\u2019 organizations\u2019 involvement in extension among small scale farmers in Agege Local Government Area of Lagos State.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

NB: *This PDF paper is based on a 1992 undergraduate final year research project study I carried out in fulfillment of the requirements for a B.Sc. in Agricultural Extension Services from University of Ibadan\u2019s Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry.<\/em><\/p>\n

I put in great effort to prepare for and execute the project. Coming up with the topic was something my Project Supervisor (then \"Dr.\" and later \"Prof.\") Terry Olowu did not let me fool around with. He drilled me extensively, and challenged me to do everything right from start till end.<\/em><\/p>\n

I however believe what is most noteworthy today, is that reading through the paper, one readily sees that its contents remain relevant to development in Nigeria\u2019s agriculture sector even today!<\/em><\/p>\n

The challenge of what has been described in some circles as a \u201cnear comatose: extension services delivery system, make the ideas proposed for adoption in this paper worthy of serious consideration by policy makers and stakeholders in Nigeria\u2019s agriculture industry.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is why I\u2019ve chosen to publish it here\u00a0as a downloadable FREE PDF paper<\/a>, for interested persons to study.<\/em><\/p>\n

NB;\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>It goes without saying that some concepts and bodies referred to in the paper are now obsolete. However, the overall strategy investigated remains undeniably relevant to our current situation!<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m willing to discuss with interested stakeholders about possible applications of this paper\u2019s findings ore even conducting an updated version that takes into account changes that may have taken place since this original study was done.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On 4th May 2014, Tayo's 9 year old domain (Spontaneousdevelopment dot com), which hosted his website, was taken over by Aplus.net.<\/em><\/p>\n

Within a few days however, Tayo used his advanced self-taught web development skills to build a SUPERIOR \"reincarnation\" of it the website\u00a0http:\/\/www.tayosolagbade.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
