Data were collected 111.lh the aid of questionnaire complimented by group discussion from a random sample of 1511 farmers involved in the study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test OJ id regression. There was significance difference between adoption of improved agricu 'tural technologies and fund received because farm size increased with the aid of fund received from the programme. It is recommend that suitable technological packages be des igned [or farmers. Government should solidify and monitor SPFSfor proper accountabilir.

Whether it is electricity for schools or clinics, energy for the delivery of health, education and sanitation, services, clean fuel to reduce indoor pollution, energy for pumping water or heat for cooking food and boiling water, energy in all its forms will be required to achieve these ends. Current patterns of energy consumption are polluting and unsustainable, and are characterized by inequity in consumption and access. Finding appropriate energy solutions that will fuel economic growth and increase social equity is essential. Energy is one of today's most serious issues. It is one of the most complexes. Satisfying the needs of hundreds of millions of people living in subsistence conditions has implications for international policy and economic relations as well. This is particularly pressing for developing countries like ours, since economic development-vital if millions are to be helped out of poverty-requires greater use of energy for their numerous farm operations. This paper thus argues that access to secure energy is one of the prerequisites for rural poverty reduction in Nigeria and examines the energy crisis facing Nigeria and issues pertaining to use and consumption. It is divided into five sections, section one is the introduction which sets the ball rolling by providing the background information. The second section discusses the energy crisis in Nigeria, while section three outlines the energy issues facing Nigeria. In section four, the energy needs of rural Nigerians were outlined with their major applications while in section five; we discussed the ways/strategies for tackling challenges to sustainable energy service delivery. INTRODUCTION Energy is an essential ingredient for socioeconomic development and economic growth. The objective of the energy system is to provide energy services. Energy services are the desired and useful products, processes or indeed services that result from the use of energy, such as for lighting, provision of air-conditioned indoor climate, refrigerated storage, transportation, appropriate temperatures for cooking etc. The energy chain to deliver these cited services begins with the collection or extraction of primary energy, which is then converted into energy carriers suitable for various end-uses. These energy carriers are used in energy end-use technologies to provide the desired energy services (Sambo, 1997; Sambo, 2005).
