The study adopted a causal research design involving the administration of a structured questionnaire to a purposive sample of 100 students across various departments in Nasarawa State University, Keffi and Federal University of Lafia. The collected survey data was applied towards estimation of a path model, using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The results obtained indicated that exogenous components of competency Level, Access to Resources, Cultural and Artistic Influence, Educational Curriculum and Integration of technology were positive and statistically significant predictors of the application of resist dyeing techniques in fashion design and textile art. Accordingly, targeted interventions were recommended to enhance skills of students of fashion design through specialised training programs or focused coursework. Institutions should also ensure that students have access to the necessary resources for learning and practicing resist dyeing effectively. Also, students should be encouraged to draw inspiration from various cultural and artistic sources in order to enrich their work. Additionally, it is crucial for continuous evaluation and improvement of the curriculum in order to align with industry trends and technological advancements. Finally, Institutions should consider incorporating technology-driven learning tools and digital resources into their educational approaches.

Specifically, the study seeks to verify the effect of agriculture promotion policy on productivity in Ogun State. There are claims that recent agriculture policy led to increased food production, yet quality output in terms of improved yield and nutrition value is relatively low due to low productivity. The problem of low productivity in the agricultural sector is attributed to several factors including inefficient extension services, low level of adoption of improved seedlings, poor inputs quality and inefficient input distribution system, ineffective and inadequate mechanisation and irrigation facilities, poor access to credit, poorly managed soil fertility profile and aging farmer population. Objective of the study is to examine the effect of agriculture promotion policy on farm productivity in Ogun State, Nigeria. Methodology used in the study was a descriptive survey designed with the aid of administration of questionnaire to collect data from key respondents. Two hundred and eighty-three (283) samples were derived using Taro Yamane statistical formula. Using random sampling techniques, two hundred and thirty six (236) respondents comprising of farmers, agripreneurs, members of commodity associations returned the questionnaires. The study used regression analysis to determine the effect of agriculture promotion policy on farm productivity and analysed research hypotheses using SPSS version 20. The findings of the study reveal that agriculture promotion policy has a positive significant effect on farm productivity indicated by (coefficient of 0.353, f test= 86.568 and p=0.000). The study recommended that since Ogun State has no agriculture research centers, collaborations with agricultural research centers is vital to improve varieties of seeds, livestock and other input.
