At the Nigerian Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services (NIFAAS), we are redefining how knowledge drives agricultural transformation. As Nigeria’s apex multi-stakeholder platform for agricultural advisory and extension, NIFAAS brings together professionals, researchers, farmer organisations, agribusinesses, and development partners to build a responsive, demand-driven, and ICT-enabled advisory system. From our secretariat at the National Agricultural Extension and Research Liaison Services within Ahmadu Bello University, we champion innovation, strengthen collaboration, and bridge the critical gap between research, policy, and farm-level practice.

Agriculture in Nigeria stands at a defining moment—confronted by climate change, evolving market dynamics, and persistent productivity gaps. NIFAAS exists to ensure that farmers and value chain actors are not left behind. We work to transform advisory systems into powerful engines of knowledge, equipping stakeholders with timely information, climate-smart solutions, and access to opportunities that improve productivity, resilience, and livelihoods. Our approach places farmers at the centre, ensuring that innovation is not only generated but effectively delivered, adopted, and sustained.

As the national forum of the African Forum for Agricultural Advisory Services, NIFAAS connects Nigeria to a wider continental movement advancing inclusive, knowledge-driven agricultural development across Africa. Through partnerships, digital innovation, and evidence-based advocacy, we are shaping the future of agricultural advisory systems—one that is smarter, more inclusive, and fit for a rapidly changing world. We invite you to engage, collaborate, and be part of this transformation.
