Abstract
This study examined the Fish farmers’ perception of agricultural broadcast on radio stations in Ilorin West Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria. About 120 fish farmers were selected for the study. Statistical tools such as frequency count, percentage and mean score were used to analyse the data. The result revealed that the average age of the respondents were 26.6 years and the average years of experience was 4.7 years. The average income of the respondents was N247,133.33. Agbelere on Unilorin 89.3FM (x̅=1.98) was the most frequently listened to agricultural broadcast on radio stations. Agricultural programs on radio stations are educative was the highest ranked perception statement of the respondents (x̅= 4.27). The radio programmes link fish farmers to the marketing outlets (x̅= 4.16) was the highest ranked perceived effect of agricultural broadcast on radio stations. The discussion of irrelevant topics (x̅= 2.07) was the highest ranked factor limiting the respondents from listening to the agricultural broadcast on radio stations. The study therefore recommends that the young, agile and unemployed Nigerians should be encouraged to venture into fish farming business.
