      abstract = {The study was carried out to assess the implication of the  use
of selected Information and Communication  Technologies
(ICTs) for extension service delivery in  Nigeria. The simple
random technique was used to select  fifty percent of the total extension
agents which  equivalent to forty-two respondents as
sample size for the  study. Frequency counts, percentages, mean
and standard  deviation were used as descriptive statistic.  Also,
Chi-Square test and Spearman’s rho correlation were  employed
as inferential statistic to test for the  hypotheses. Findings indicated
that access to various ICTs  tools especially Radio and Mobile
phone and were found to  be relevant to farming operations. The
result of Chi square  test revealed that significant relationship
exist between  sex, age, level of education, years of working  experience
of the extension agents and level of use of  ICTs. Furthermore,
the result of Spearman rho Correlation  showed that
there was no significant relationship between  ICT training of extension
workers and the level of use of  ICTs. The study recommended
among others that, there should  be a periodic review of
the use of current ICTs in  extension service delivery to facilitate
effectiveness in  the use of ICTs for extension service and adequate
funding  of extension service should also be ensured to enhance
the  maintenance of ICTs made available to extension personnel.},
