| Sumario: | Nigeria recently adorned the unfortunate title of the poverty capital of the world, despite its huge potential and expenditure of tens of trillions of Naira on poverty eradication through multiple intervention policies and programmes. The topic will explore the implementation of the social policy programmes embarked upon by the federal government of Nigeria between 2015 and 2023. The paper will consider the circumstances that led to the initiation and implementation of the various intervention programmes under the aegis of the National Social Protection Policy (NSPP), including employment generation, social safety nets, conditional cash transfers, maternal and child health care, etc. The chapter will adopt a qualitative approach, generating data from existing literature to evaluate the implementation vistas of the policy thrust, after which inferences will be drawn to draw conclusions and recommendations for future policy implementation. |
