Abstract Agricultural Extension

Abstract

Agricultural extension contributes to improving the welfare of farmers and other stakeholders by

providing access to knowledge and information.

This has led to increasing emphasis on effective

training strategies to develop extension staff

competencies. The study therefore focused on

identification of constraints and effective

educational strategies influencing the professional competencies of extension officers in Oyo and

Ogun states Nigeria. Simple random sampling

technique was used in selecting 84 extension

officers from 4 agricultural zones in the study

areas of which 80 of them completed and returned

their questionnaires for analysis. Data were

analysed using descriptive (frequency, percentage, mean) and inferential (chi-square, PPMC t-test)

statistics. The mean age of respondents was 46

years, majority were males (65.0%), married

(95.0%), had household size of 5-6 persons

(53.75%), had 9-16 years of job experience (40%)

and all had attained tertiary education with 47.5% of them at HND level. FNT/MTRM (=1.91) was

considered the most effective education strategy

while job shadowing (=0.73) was rated the least

effective. During in-service training (45.7%) was

the most preferred period to acquire extension

competencies. Organisational management

(=19.7)) was the most possessed competency and

on the overall, 51.2% of respondents possessed

high level of competency. The most severe

constraint to acquiring competency was lack of

funds (=1.77). There was a significant relationship between age (r=0.244, p<0.05), years of work

experience (r=0.224, p<0.05), education delivery

strategies (r=0.435, p<0.05) and level of

competency. Also there was a significant negative

relationship between the constraints to acquiring

competencies and competency level of extension

officers (r=-0.292, p<0.05). It was recommended

that the ADPs should improve on the methodology

used during FNT/MTRM by diversifying on

teaching methods and involving highly

experienced instructors. Also, they should offer

incentives and rewards to motivate employees

that are vigorously involved in profe
