ABSTRACT
The study examined Access and Application of Information Communication Technology (ICTs) among farming household in Kainji lake basin, Nigeria. Multi-state sampling was used in selection of 200 farmers for the study. Primary data were collected with aid of a well structured questionnaire. 200 questionnaires were sent out for farmers but 194 questionnaires were retrieved. The data was subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. The percentage of the respondent is below the average. This implies that the farmers of this area used contemporary information communication technology (ICTs) for obtaining Agricultural technology information more than conventional (ICTs). The study recommended the strengthening of the use of conventional (ICTs) rather than contemporary (ICTs), also provision of adequate training on the use of (ICTs) for farmers and other Agricultural stakeholders.
