The study focused on the assessment of farmers’ participation in National Special Programme for Food Security (NSPFS) in Warawa Local Government Area of Kano State. Data were collected from 100 randomly selected farmers’ through the use of interview schedule, while the information collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, regression (logit) and ranking. The result indicated that, the age of the farmers range from 15 to 72 with a mean of 37 years. They also have a mean household size of 13 members with an average farm size of 3.42ha as well as a mean farming experience of 22years. Similarly, majority of the respondents (46%) have medium level of participation in NSPFS. Also farmers’ age, years of awareness and farming experience were statistically significant (P<0.05; 0.0164, 0.0533 and P<0.01; 0.0054) to participation. Nevertheless, local leadership problems, inadequate quantity and quality inputs, diversion of inputs meant for the Programme and inadequate Extension agents constitute the major constraints to the respondents’ active participation in the Programme. It is hereby recommended that training and development of local leadership, provision of adequate inputs as well as Extension personnel will go a long way in improving farmers’ participation in the Programme.
