摘要
Nigeria has remained socio-economically underdeveloped and pauperized amid immense oil wealth and 70 percent of the population is still trapped in poverty. This study analyzes the experience of government policies on poverty. This article argues that to alleviate poverty, government must legislate against inappropriate behavior ( corruption and ineptitude) of government officials.
