Abstract :
The study examined the two tenancy conditions in the Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority of Nigeria (LNRBDA) and the differences in the pattern that the farmers under both conditions use resources in the area. Hypotheses were put forward to test whether or not significant differences existed among the three types of efficiency indices obtained for each of the two tenure settings and whether the differences in the physical quantities of the resources used by farmers in both were significant. Data was drawn on 414 small-scale irrigation farms under the two existing tenure Systems in 7 irrigation schemes located in 7 different Local Government Areas under the Lower Niger River Basin Development Authority in both Kwara and Kogi States of North –Central Nigeria. The result showed that there were lots of discrepancies in the t-tests results of the two settings. Consequently, government did not intentionally establish one setting to be superior to the other in terms of production performance.
