Journal Title: Asian Journal of Management Sciences and Education - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Nigeria has a longstanding and lingering poverty obstacle despite she has been tried many series of anti-poverty programmes and policies in her history to alleviate the problem in the economy. However, this paper attempts to examine the managing immediate action for women and poverty reduction in Nigeria, especially in Kwara state, using generic theory or simply blaming the system explanation. Under the premise that the poverty is basically caused among the women in the country by the system and society as opposed to the causes of poverty by the individual poor women, themselves. This paper is based largely on academic research that is currently undertaken by the researcher on Kwara state, Nigeria. The paper is conceptual in nature and analytical method is used based on the previous literature to give account to prompt action to manage the poverty situation particularly of the women in the state. The finding shows that government is much more responsible for the longstanding poverty in the country through her inability and failure to provide sufficient socioeconomic amenities for the public and managing the existing ones. It is concluded that the government should try to manage and procure adequate socioeconomic amenities that can assist directly and indirectly, the masses particularly women to reduce poverty incidence in the country. Finally, some policy measures are being recommended to tackle the problem of poverty in general.
