We are also grateful to James Akinwumi for his support and assistance in planning and his professional guidance in conducting this study. Additionally, we appreciate the support of the state-level Fadama II subproject coordina- tors and staff during data collection and cleaning and report writing. This study would not have been possible without the crucial support and efficient coordination of Adetunji Oredipe and Frank Idefoh. Their adminis- trative and resource support was crucial in carrying out the study in a very short time. We also thank all staff members of the Fadama II national office for their cordial and efficient support.
We appreciate the financial support we received from the Federal Govern- ment of Nigeria and the World Bank. We also thank Simeon Ehui, the Fadama II task team leader, for his professional and collegial support during the preparation and implementation of the study. Further, we extend our appre- ciation to Thomas Muenzel for his valuable comments on our questionnaire and the draft report, and to B. Daramola and
B.Omonona for their reviews and their valuable comments on the draft report. We also thank participants in the medium-term review (MTR) meeting in Abuja, Nigeria, and the Brown Bag seminars conducted by the International Food Policy Research Institute and the World Bank.
