摘要
This study analysed access to and perception of private extension delivery by farmers in Borno state. Primary data were collected from 128 farmers selected using multi-stage sampling technique. A five point Likert type scale was developed and used to elicit information on respondents' attitude toward private extension service delivery. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistical techniques such as frequency counts and percentages. Result indicated that majority (63.3%) of the respondents were between the ages 36 and 50 years with high proportion (70%) cultivating not more than 4 hectares of land. The study further revealed that majority (84%) had access to public extension service with only 43% having access to private extension. Most of the respondents expressed positive attitude towards privatization of extension services. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended that rural areas should be provided with social and economic infrastructure and private extension services be encouraged in rural areas.
