Data were collected using purposive sampling technique to select 70 poultry farmers. Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) were used to describe the socio – economic characteristics of the respondent the constraints of poultry layer production were measured with 3 point scale, major constraints and not constraints. The results shows that the major constraint faced by the respondents was disease and pest attack (88%) followed by difficulty in credit and loan procurement processes. 78.5 percent of the respondents were faced by the purchase of day of the chicks. 75.7% were faced with constraints of high cost of feed. The result also indicates that 71.4% were faced with constraints of cost of drugs and vaccines while 70% were encountering with higher rate of motility. Government should tackle the problem of disease and pest, loan/credit procurement, market price instability as well as proper funding of layers poultry business so as to enhance the Commercialization of poultry industry in Nigeria.
