An Assessment of Poverty Reduction Programmes in Nigeria
Abstract
The aim of the study is to evaluate the poverty reduction programme in Nigeria. Poverty is a multidimensional matter which cannot be only focusing on one sector of the economy, while poverty reduction programme should also be multidimensional in all sectors which can serve as emancipation of the poor. The study discovered that most of the programme implemented has not impact positively on the targeted poor people in Nigeria. However, policy inconsistent and mismanagement caused the programme not to become complete success, which has put 80% of citizens in absolute poverty. This study recommends that there is a need for effective monitoring mechanism of the programme and creation of enabling environment that can lead to creation of wealth and employment in the country.
