| Riassunto: | The extent to which the objectives of setting up the Agricultural Inputs and Services Units (AISU) in Oyo State have been met, was assessed. The state was divided into six geographical and ecological zones, and Within each zone, one AISU was randomly selected for study. Data were collected using pretested structured questionnaire.
Results indicate that there is a need for structural reorganization to allow for greater effectiveness both in coverage, customer demands and satisfaction. The growing demand for services and inputs from the units; point to the increasing popularity of the services rendered. The scope of such services should be expanded to cover storage, harvesting, weed-, pest- and disease-controls. AISU would enjoy better patronage if its staffing position improves. Community participation in the planning and management of the units through Local Management Committee system will also enhance its image. |
