A study on the Training Needs Assessment of extension agents in Nigeria has revealed several gaps and constraints that have hitherto limited the effectiveness of extension service in the country.
Godwin Atser, a Communication and Knowledge Exchange Expert at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA), Ibadan, Nigeria who presented the paper also noted that the current farmer-extension ratio of one extension worker to 3011 farm families was a major constraint limiting the effectiveness of extension system in Nigeria.
