Extension services are crucial for disseminating innovations, in agricultural production. This study assessed farmers' willingness to support extension services in Wudil Local Government Area of Kano State, Nigeria. Using a structured questionnaire were collected from 100 respondents across four major groundnut-producing communities. Descriptive statistics and logit regression were used for data analysis. Findings revealed that 93% of respondents were male, and 74% are married. While 25% paid for private extension services, 75% received public services. Both public and private services led to increased yields and resultant benefits such as improved income, knowledge, and farming practices. The key factors that significantly influenced farmers’ willingness to support extension services include education level, farming experience, and frequency of extension contact. In contrast, age, sex, and yield increase had no significant influence. The study recommends government intervention in enhancing extension services through increased personnel, teaching materials, and improved infrastructure to boost groundnut productivity and farmer engagement.
