The study examined the impacts of gender and farmers’ level of education on access to agricultural
extension services in Abuja. A purposive technique was adopted for sample selection while semistructured
questionnaires were used for data collection. A sample of 80 rural male and female farmers who
had post secondary, secondary, primary and no formal school education were used for the study. In each
of the four educational categories, 10 male and 10 female farmers were selected. Two-way analysis of
variance was used for data analysis and results indicated that irrespective of education, there was no
significant difference (p > 0.05) in gender access to agricultural extension services. But, the mean response
(3.03) indicated that female farmers had slightly more access to agricultural extension services than their
male counterparts (2.98). Similarly, irrespective of gender, there was no significant (p > 0.05) effect of
farmers’ level of education on access to agricultural extension services. Remarkably, farmers who had no
formal school education had more access (3.40) to agricultural extension services than farmers who had at
least primary school education. Furthermore, there was no significant (p > 0.05) interaction effect of gender
and education on farmers’ access to agricultural extension services. Based on the findings, the paper
concluded that gender and level of education were not major determinants of farmers’ access to
agricultural extension services in the study area.
