With a mandate to advance the frontiers of Extension Research and Services, NAERLS conducts agricultural performance assessments, builds capacity and skills of key actors, and packages and disseminates improved agricultural innovations. They work in collaboration with other national and international partners to address the challenges faced by the Nigerian agricultural sector, including limited access to land, low irrigation development, limited adoption of technologies, high input costs, poor access to credit, and more recently, the effects of climate change.
