      abstract = {This paper looks at the factors that may impact for  Technological Innovations in National Agricultural Research  institutes in Nigeria. Factors which existing literature  show as influencing agricultural technological innovations  were identified and selected. These were presented to  research personnel in 12 Research institutes who were  requested to indicate their importance to technological  innovations on a likert scale type instrument. Their  responses were analysed using descriptive statistics. The  following factors were rated very highly Autonomy on  Authority, Technological development level, information  sharing with external linkages, level of technological  expertise by key research personnel, Incentives and reward  system and an enhanced formal and informal linkage system.  These findings are discussed and their implications for  innovations in agricultural practice in Nigeria were  examined. Deriving from these discussions, are actions and  measures capable of further enhancing innovation  consciousness while improving technological innovativeness  in public Agricultural R&D systems in Nigeria and in most  developing countries facing same challenges were  suggested.},
