1. I have co-trained thousands of graduates who have joined the agricultural work force in Nigeria and other countries. Some have become junior Ministers and advisers to government and many occupy key positions. 2. My textbooks on i) Farm Management ii) Agricultural Marketing iii) Agricultural Production Economics and iv) Research Methodology (v) Agricultural Finance are being used in many universities and polytechnics in the country. 3.I co-propagated the use of Training and Visit (T&V) system of extension throughout the length and breadth of Nigeria. During the orientation I co-developed the Small Plot Adoption Technique

(SPAT) for measuring impact of the extension messages at farmers' level. Today, millions of SPAT messages are found on farmers' fields all over the country. 4. Wide spread experience working with the World Bank, Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), French Embassy Coordination Office, IDRC, DFID etc.
