Abstract
The study investigates the relationship between exposure level and entrepreneurial networking among pig farmers in Badagry, Lagos State. Adopting a cross sectional survey research design, utilizing a census sampling technique, the entire population of sixty pig farmers located in Badagry was surveyed. A questionnaire was employed to elicit data from the respondents while correlation and regression analyses were utilized to analyze the data collected. The findings demonstrated that: (i) the exposure level does not in any way affect the entrepreneurial networking of the pig farmers in Badagry (p> 0.05; p = 0.167); (ii) exposure level is not significantly related to entrepreneurial networking among the pig farmers in Badagry. The study recommends that entrepreneurial networking be given proper attention to ensure stronger relationship among pig farmers which could enhance economic growth via increase in agriculture and gross domestic product (GDP). The study also offers suggestion for future studies.
