Abstract
Nigeria is richly endowed i materials, gas and agricultural lands with immense human resource based. Yet, her poverty level has become increasingly intractable. The 'trickle down theory, intend to manifest from continued stress on growth as a desirable mechanism to alleviate poverty has missed the point. it has tended to reveal government's philosophy as being inadequate and non-consequential. This paper is therefore a modest attempt which provides the theoretical dimensions of poverty or social exclusion that planners and policy makers must recognize as the basis of alleviating this malaise. Policy issues of gender, geographical imbalance and the lack of good will on the part of the government to provide the so-called dividends of democracy must be viewed with utmost concern. Poverty needs not drag the country down the path of underdevelopment for too long. |
