The study assessed the benefits of West Africa Agricultural Productivity Programme (WAAPP) through inputs, training and services received; attitude; satisfaction; and constraints of respondents in WAAPP. Four National Institute for Freshwater Fisheries Research (NIFFR) adopted villages were selected purposively, namely; Monai, Mussawa, Tunga Alhaji Dambaba, and Cover Dam out of eight established villages due to large number of WAAPP activities in the area. The total number of respondents sampled in selected adopted villages was 120. Data collected were analysed using percentage, standard deviation and mean. Results of the study revealed that the majority (88.2%) of the respondents received improved fingerlings and fish feeds from WAAPP and 67.7% of the respondents had favourable attitude towards the programme. About 59% were favourably satisfied, and 56% derived high level of benefit from the programme. About 47% were severely constrained by inadequate capital to sustain the programme projects
