Agricultural Extension Society of Nigeria (AESON), llorin, Nigeria.https://keffi.nsuk.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14448/2899This paper presents the results of investigation into the effects of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) usage on the front-line extension agents in three selected Agricultural Development Projects (ADPs), namely; Kaduna State (KADP), Kano State (KNARDA) and Kebbi State (KARDA) respectively, in Nigeria. Two hundred and four (204) VEAs were sampled as respondents for the study. With aid the descriptive statistics data received from the respondents were analysed and were used to present the results. It was found that: (I) 96% of the respondents agreed (both Veiy high and Moderately high) that it was time saving; (2) 88% of the respondents agreed (both Very high and Moderately high) that it was cost saving; (3) 92% of the respondents agreed (both Veiy high and Moderately high) that it gives more accessibility to them; (4) 95% of the respondents agreed (both Very high and Moderately high) that it provides wider coverage; and (5) 92% of the respondents agreed (both Very high and Moderately high) that it gives more knowledge. Considering these results, it was recommended that: ICT be made more accessible to extension agents in order to improve their work performance, and its use by extension agents should be further encouraged for enhanced performance on their job.enInformation, Communication, Technologies, Extension Agents, UsageTHE EFFECTS OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES (ICT) USAGE BY VILLAGE EXTENSION AGENTS (VEAs) ON THEIR WORK PERFORMANCE IN NORTH-WESTERN ZONE OF NIGERIAArticle
