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
