ABSTRACT
The incidence
of poverty in Nigeria in recent times has become a major challenge to policy
makers and most Nigerians. Central Intelligence Agency (2011) noted that the
incidence of poverty in Nigeria stood at 70%. It is also on note that
successive governments in Nigeria have tried different policies and programmes
geared towards reducing the level of poverty in the country through a number of
strategies. First, through the activities of its ministries/agencies; second,
by collaborating with international agencies; third, and more importantly-,
through the establishment of agencies equipped solely to fight rising poverty
and unemployment in Nigeria, but none of these have done anything in bringing
the poverty level to even a minimal level, let alone alleviating it.
Statistically, poverty level was at 27.2% in 1980 and then rose to 49.0% in
1996 and has hit 70.0% in recent times.
