Abstract
The study examined the strategies which could be adopted to facilitate the
activities of itinerant tailors in Niger state. Five research questions guided the
study. The population for the study consisted of 1549 itinerant tailors and
379 teachers of Home Economics in the state. This gave a total population of
1,928. The sample was made up of 154 itinerant tailors and all the 37 Home
Economics teachers, who were present at the meeting of Home Economics
Teachers Association in the state giving a total of 191 respondents. The
tailors were purposively selected from the three geo-political zones with
equal representation of the 3 major towns across the state. A structured
questionnaire was used for data collection which was face validated by three
experts in related fields. Data were analysed using the mean scores. Findings
revealed among others that the activities carried out by itinerant tailors are
limited.
