Abstract

In a rapidly changing world of today, science and Technology have taken over virt&ally everything on Earth and beyond. The two concepts serve as the bedrock of any social, political, economic, industrial and educational advancement of a country. Human needs are increasing every­day and becoming obsolete each moment as a result of complex and massive acquisition of technological inventions at a very high speed. The image of agricultUral education has dropped to a low prestige occupation as a result of lack of innovations &till prevalent in our traditional African farming system - lots of drudgery, poor remunerations, incidence of pests and diseases, crop failures, low yielding varieties of crops and breeds of animals, poor farming tools and storage systems etc.
