This study investigated information needs and challenges of agricultural researchers and extension workers in Edo State, Nigeria. Proportionate sampling technique was used to select 106 respondents. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The majority (71.6 %) of respondents indicated their need for information with respect to climate change and adaptation measures (71.6 %). Extension workers communicated more with agricultural researchers monthly (77.5 %). Lack of office-wide internet connectivity (2.06±1.08), unstable power supply (2.05±1.07), and nonsubscription to relevant online resources by employer (2.05±1.07) inhibited respondents from meeting their information needs. The study recommends that Edo State ministry of agriculture and the management of the research institutes, should improve ICT infrastructure in their establishments in order to enhance access to e-resources by staff.
