Agriculture
is one of the pillars in Nigeria, but it is challenged with low productivity,
bad infrastructure and climate change. This paper reviews the role of
information and communication technology (ICT) in propelling smart agriculture
and enhancing productivity in the nation. The research question seeks to
determine the extent to which ICT resources, including mobile applications,
remote sensing, GPS, and online platforms, have already been applied in
Nigerian agriculture, as well as to evaluate their effects on the farming
productivity and the rhythm of production. It was done using a mixed-methods
design, which involved survey data on farmers along with interviews with
personnel at agricultural extension offices, and the available secondary data
on recent research. SPSS version 26 was used to analyse quantitative
information and identify trends whereas thematic coding and interpretation of
qualitative responses were used.
