APPRAISAL OF POVERTY AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: A SOCIO POLITICAL INQUIRY INTO ENTREPRENEURIAL DEVELOPMENT
(2014) Brimah, A.N.; Bolaji, I. A.; Adebayo, S. O.
The Universality of Poverty cannot be contested, but its causes and intensity difer from one society to the other. This also supports the argument that whot constitute poverty in a society might not be seriously the same in another society. This perfectly interprets the Nigerian situation. Without doubt, the economy of a nation whose citizen have been inflicted with poverty will be disturbed since the people responsible for developing the economy had initially been impoverished. This pap r question the administrative style of the Nigerian leaders in terms of job creation as a means of eradicating poverty and management of the existing industries via the provision of essential amenities such as (electricity, good roads) in ensuring their continuous production at maximum capacity. The paper then concludes that until our leaders tackle corruption in administration, economic growth might continue to be a mirage, while povertystill lingers in the Nigerian nation.
