AB  - Poverty, a global phenomenon that is dynamic, complex and multi-dimensional is currently one of the
most serious problems in the world. In view of the above, efforts are being made at the levels of government,
the organized private sector, international donor agencies and NGOs to alleviate poverty so that man can live
a meaningful life on the earth space. Despite various strategies employed by successive government and other
agencies at alleviating poverty in Nigeria, the scourge seems unbolting as a result of lack of seriousness on the
part of government, lack of reliable population figures as benchmark for planning, corruption and neglect among
others. The study recommends conducting a reliable and acceptable census, back to the land policy,
transparency and elimination of corruption among others for sustainable poverty alleviation in Nigeria.
