| Samenvatting: | This inaugural address could not have come at a better
time than now when the country's extension system is in a
state of utter confusion if not.total collapse. Extension as an
educational process and programme is usually on the priority
list of programmes to be jettisoned anytime there is problem
in the nation's economy. Extension programmes and staff are
moved from one agency to another, oftentimes .to those with
little or no understanding of what it is all about, nor appreciation
of its principles and philosophy, and they' are replaced
with 'crash' programmes which often crash before take-off.
The consequence of this is that the country's peasants who
still account for about 95 percent of Nigeria's agricultural
output suffer. This then is the origin, of the title of my inaugural
lecture, "Extension for the emancipation of the silent
majority". |
