Abstract

The incidence of poverty as a result of unemployment has reached a dangerously alarmed and worrisome dimension despite different poverty alleviation initiatives by successive governments. The implication of this has led to anti-social behaviours which are antithetical to the peace and stability of the country. Therefore, the study investigated the nature and causes of poverty and unemployment in Ogun and Oyo States. This study sampled 610 respondents of the NDE Programme through the administration of questionnaire out of which 598 questionnaire was retrieved. In addition, interviews was conducted with the State Coordinators and Heads of departments of the NDE. Data analysis involved percentage distribution. Secondary data were obtained from documentary sources which include books, journals, articles, newspaper publications and internet sources relevant to the study. Findings revealed that Oyo state accounted for a higher intensity of poverty than in Ogun state. A constant factor responsible for unemployment in both states include poor leadership, lack of government support, corruption, poor policy formulation and implementation. The paper recommended that NDE should cover a wider range of the poor and the unemployed through involvement of community based organizations. There should be a political will on the part of the political leadership to eradicate poverty and provide enabling environment for business opportunities to strive. A peer review mechanism should be adopted to evaluate the performance of NDE in different states.
