Abstract

Poverty implicates a condition where people are unable to afford the minimal standards of food, clothing, healthcare, education, and also not capable to continue traditions that are important to them. Poverty reduction strategies now receive high attention across the world because of the negative impact on the individual and national prosperity. The average poverty rate of about 68.40 percent is a clear indication that a majority of Nigerian citizens sleep below the poverty line despite the presence of poverty reduction programmes. The exploratory research method was deployed for the study in an attempt to explore the impact of NEEDS as a poverty reduction strategy in Nigeria. Through statistical analysis, it was found that NEEDS has not made significant positive impact on poverty reduction in Nigeria.
