Abstract

This paper examines the coverage of indigenous knowledge systems in extension services delivery. This is based on the fact that agriculture extension service is the most prominent source of information to farmers in sub Saharan Africa. Agriculture is the major source of livelihoods that explore indigenous knowledge systems over years. In this paper a content analysis was used to examine the coverage of indigenous knowledge systems in the extension messages by extension officers in Oyo state, Nigeria and the North-West province, South Africa. The results of the analysis show that the proportion of indigenous knowledge systems covered in the two study locations are generally lowwith 15% in the South West Nigeria and 27.8% in the North West Province South Africa. This shows ahigher coverage of indigenous messages in North-West SouthAfrica than Oyo State Nigeria. The study concludes that extension services should explore more of indigenous knowledge system for the improvement of agricultural activities
