:i.' l. INTRODUCTION During the year 1993, NAERLS made some achievements in the provision of agricultural extension · specialist support services. The achievements were made in spite of numerous constraints, including the prolonged strike actions by both the academic and non-academic staff of the • U nlve rsities. This report Is presented according to activities performed. Hence there are the following sections. Extension Research, Trainings, Media and other activities. The Institute organdies many workshops for the various agricultural specialists during the year. Staff of the institute also attended numerous professional societies,. conferences and participated in training workshops organdies by other bodies as resource persons. Apart from these, our staff also performed many unscheduled duties, honoured invitations to advisory services, agricultural shqws and exhibitions. Many new bulletins were published and some old ones were revised. Documentary slide packages and video films were also produced. NAERLS Liaison Officers were active In the Monthly Technical Review Meetings (MTRM} of many states. The staff situation did not Improve during the year. One extension specialist. Dr. A. Gwarzo retired from service. Another Senior Officer. Mr. D. D. • Ogunshina left for the National Board for Technical Ed.ucation . • We are indebted to all Research Institutes. State Ministries. Agriculfuraf ' Agencies, farmers, individuals and orgnisations that have contributed in one way or another toward the successful completion of our assignment for the year 1993. HIGHLIGHT OF ACTIVITIES Extension Research
The Institute has a national mandate which, among other functions,
includes conducting research in the areas of agricultural extension technology
....• transfer and adoption process. The general objectives in such studies, though
~···- not limited include devising adequate measures improve dissemination of • agricultural innovations and facilitation of adoption process of technologies.
The following is a brief of the research activities carried out in 1993.
1 Title: Farm Input and Output Study
Status: The study was conducted in Oyo, Abia, Barno, Kaduna and
Niger States. Apart from Niger state, data collection in other states
have be~n. completed. Coding of data is in progress
2. Title: An Evaluation of Fish Fingerlings Production in Fresh Water Aquaculture in Nigeria Objectives:
The objectives are:
a) To determine the level of involvement of government institutions
and private agencies in fish fingerlings production.
b) To determine the extent of sufficiency or otherwise of fish
fingerlings supply to farmers.
c) • To determine possible constraints placed on fingerlings production, transportation and distribution.
d) To determine the fish species that are mostly reared at fingerlings
stage.
e) To evaluate the economic prospects of fingerlings production.
2 f) To suggest possible solutions to fingerlings production problems.
Status: On~going Progress Made: ...• Questionnaires were administered to five states (Adamawa, Niger, Kaduna, lmo and Oyo). These are awaiting retrieval (except for Adamawa States), after which analysis will be made.

Other programmes produced and aired at Kaduna State Media Corporation (KSMC) include: 1 Land clearing 2 Livestock farmers problems 3 Soybeans conference 4 Groundnut production conference 5 Soyabeans production 6 Blacksmith Training I, II and Ill 7 Management of Heifers 8 You are what you Eat II 9 Livestock Farmers Problems I and II 10 Dry season farming 11 Bomo Young Farmers Club (Kalankowa, '94) 12 Energy giving foods 13 Protein giving foods • 46 OTHER ACTIVITIES Special Projects .1 Blacksmith/Rural Women Vegetable Oil Project The staff of the Institute developed a prototype vegetable oil processor. The prototypes were demonstrated In Niger, Plateau, Kano, Katsina and Kaduna states. Home Economists trained the rural women on the use of selected processing oil extraction equipment. E.g. Roaster, Stirrer, and Oil press. Under this project, staff maintained contact with women groups in Giwa, Tudun Wada, Dupa-Oupa villages of Kaduna State. 2 IORCIIITA/NAERLS Soybean Utilisation In Nigeria Recipes collected from the three selected sites during the Baseline survey were fortified with soybeans. Traditional ingredients were included in the recipes and their methods of preparations were worked on: • Soybean paste was used in fortifying the dishes in order to improve th e nutritive and economic aspects of the food. The fortified recipes were analysed at liT A, lbadan. • Monthly transfer of technology to selected site& was carried out. , • Monitoring survey of the evaluation and nutritional status of soybeans utilisation project conducted in the 3 sites was carried out to determine • the nutritional status of the individuals in the families that participated in the project. 4 .'

Progress Land was ploughed, harrowed and ridged at 75 em apart. Three (3) seeds of maize crop were planted at a distance of 25 em. First and second fertilizer applications were carried out at 2 and 6 weeks after sowing respectively. The trials were also weeded and remolded due to heavy rainfall at the trial site. Harvesting of crops followed by data analysis and write-up will be carried out during the next quarter. 7 Fish-Duck and Fish-Rabbit Projects The fish-duck project pond had acute water shortage as a result of the industrial strike in the University. All the fingerlings and juvenile fish were therefore lost. The pond was however restocked in October, 1993 with 200 and 300 juveniles of tilapia and clarias respectively. Due to high pond fertility, the fish under the fish-rabbit project were left only to natural foods without supplementary feeds. The concrete pond will be totally harvested in early 1994 and restocked. An earthen pond site has been marked out beside the Goncrete pond site for construction and restocking in 1994 . • 4 WET SEASON FIELD EVALUATION Staff of the Institute undertook evaluation tours of all states of the federation (except Edo) between September and November, 1993 with the aim of assessing the performance of the cropping season.

CONSTRAINTS Despite the Institute's modest achievements during the year under review, more could have been achieved but for the following constraints: .. Vehicle situation Most vehicles in the Institute are old and expensive to maintain. This limited the movement of staff and performance of their duties. ii Shortage of funds The Institute did not obtain capital subvention during the 4th quarter of the year. Inadequacy of fund affected almost all activities of the Institute but the most severe was in the area of extension publication. The Institute could not produce enough publications for distribution to users. iii Cost of Petro! High cost of fuel throughout the year limited the movement of staff. iv Sponsorship of MTRM MTRMs in states like Rivers, Anambra, Enugu, Edo and Delta were not covered properly due to lack of sponsorship. v) Industrial action by staff For a better part of the year both the academic and non-academic staff of the University were on strike, this limited the output of work of the Institute . • SE APPENDIX I SENIOR STAFF LIST Director's Office 1 Alhaji M.B.
