\textbf{Abstract}
\begin{abstract}
\normalsize{
Non-Timber Forest Products represent culturally and economically important resources for the people. They serve as veritable sources of food, fodder, medicines, building materials, dyes, flavourings and many other life"=supporting biological requirements. In the design of appropriate strategies for sustainable management of non"=timber forest products, however, it is important to identify species with the potential for sustainable and profitable extraction in a managed system. In this study, a survey and prioritisation grading of the major Non-Timber Forest Products commonly utilised and found within the J4 Sector of Omo Forest Reserve in Ogun State, Southwestern Nigeria was carried out. Data were obtained by means of socio"=economic approach which comprises household survey; focus group discussion; and in"=depth interview with locals and forestry personnel. A total of seventy five NTFPs distributed in forty three families were enumerated by respondents. NTFPs in the study area are extracted from trees, shrubs, herbs, fungi and lianas with trees contributing the highest. Local end uses include food and food supplements, snacks/sweets, packaging leaves, soup/soup ingredients/spices, beverages, chew"=sticks, washing items, construction materials, medicine, traditional rites, and animal feed and care. Respondents cited seasonality and logging operations as the major factors influencing the availability of NTFPs in the area. It was also noted that the use of certain NTFPs to meet different end requirements could affect the growth of these plants due to over"=harvesting and consequence implication on natural regeneration. The continued availability of NTFPs in the study area will thus, depend on collaborative efforts of all stakeholders to embrace sustainable management and conservation of these resources. Forest management agencies also need to recognise the resources from which non"=timber products are harvested and integrate them into forest operation, monitoring, and infrastructure planning. Non"=timber forest resources should receive similar attention in forest management as their timber counterparts.}
