“…The results on level of education and frequency of extension contact are not surprising as it was expected that farmers with higher level of formal education and higher frequency of extension contact would have higher perception about self-help groups than those with lower level of formal education and lower frequency of extension contact. This is in consonance with the results obtained by Adekoya and Ajayi (2000) and Ajayi and Banmeke (2007). Education and frequency of extension contact are therefore, two salient variables that influence satisfaction as perceived by the respondents.…”

This study was conducted to analyze the perception of the rural woman about credit oriented self-help group in Delta State, Nigeria. A sample size of 110 respondents was used for the study and data were collected from them with the use of structured interview schedule and questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and linear regression equation model as the lead equation. It was revealed that the women farmers subscribed to self-help groups in order to be able to have access to credit (mean = 3.78), information (mean = 3.55), extension services (mean = 3.45). The respondents were satisfied with their respective self-help groups. However, they had some challenges such as inadequate access to extension services (mean = 3.55) and lack of commitment by the leaders (mean = 3.22) and members (mean = 3.19). Educational level and frequency of extension contact of the respondents were found to influence their perception on self-help groups at 5% level of significance. It is recommended that governmental and non-governmental organizations, and university agricultural extension departments should carry out a campaign on workshops for these groups on commitment and extension agencies should diversify their focus to include selfhelp groups and activities.

“…The extension delivery system in Nigeria, like other countries in Africa, is generally faced with myriads of problems due to some of the factors responsible for deficiency in the use of ICT in agriculture. The identified factors include lack of adequate trained extension agents, lack of participants' (farmers and extension staff) awareness, lack of organizational support, lack of communication strategies as well as lack of access to the ICT tools (Adekoya, 2016). According to Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (2015), ICT can remedy the current challenges that confront public extension systems.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediation role of motivation in the relationships between awareness, accessibility, perceived organizational support, and adoption of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The data was obtained using the multi-stage cluster sampling method with questionnaires administered to 254 respondents. While structural equation modelling was used for the analysis, Constructivism Theory, Digital Divide Theory, as well as Vroom's Expectancy Theory were adopted in the study. The majority of the respondents were males, married, and in their middle age with long years of work experience who had also obtained either high school diploma or Bachelor degree. The direct relationship paths showed that the exogenous construct [awareness, accessibility, Perceived Organizational Support (POS)] had a direct positive effect on the endogenous construct (ICT adoption) with an R 2 value of .23 (23%). The final model has an R 2 of 0.47 (47%) of the variation in ICT adoption explained by the model with a substantial increase in the direct model, which explains 23% of the variation. The mediation effect of motivation in the relationships between awareness, accessibility, POS, and ICT adoption was also established indicating partial mediation. The study recommends that extension organizations should be mindful of the motivation levels of their employee to facilitate the adoption of ICT in extension work, which will facilitate timely delivery of messages, cover the manpower shortages, reduce cost, as well as a total transformation of agricultural development in the area.
