High agricultural research productivity by scientists and the promotion of agricultural education through universities of agriculture is critical for Nigeria’s food security. This study examined the influence of self-efficacy, perceived usefulness, accessibility and utilization of Internet information resources as predictors of research productivity of lecturers in universities of agriculture in Nigeria. The study adopted descriptive survey research design. Data collected were analysed using percentages, mean, multiple Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis. The results of these analyses revealed that selfefficacy, perceived usefulness, accessibility of Internet resources, and utilisation of Internet resources contributed significantly to research productivity of the respondents. The reports identified inconsistencies in public electric power output as well as inadequate infrastructural support, particularly telecommunication facilities. The study concluded that there is a need to give priority to self-efficacy when recruiting people for a lecturing jobs in the universities in order to develop an intrinsic drive for knowledge creation that will build positive attitudes towards enhancing research. Similarly, given the current trend in the communication revolution, there is also a need to overhaul the universities’ resources to enhance research productivity in developing countries.
