Abstract

The level of poverty in Nigeria is on the increase in spite of various poverty alleviation programs formulated and implemented successive governments. A recent report by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) attested to this assertion and maintained that the country is the poverty capital of the world. On this premise, the study examined the role of government intervention in poverty alleviation in Ogun and Oyo States. The study adopted convergent parallel design. The population of the study was 1,220 (150 officials of the National Directorate of Employment and 1,070 beneficiaries) in Ogun and Oyo states. Stratified and purposive sampling techniques were used for collection of quantitative data while interview guide was used for collection of qualitative data. The response rate of the questionnaire was 80%. Descriptive statistics was employed in the analysis of the quantitative data, while qualitative data were content analysed. The study concluded that majority of the respondents in Oyo State did not benefit from many of the government’s poverty alleviation programmes compared to that of Ogun State. It glaringly showed that government’s efforts in alleviating poverty was poor and unimpressive in Oyo State than in Ogun State. The study, therefore, recommended that there is need for government to complement the efforts of the NDE at state level through provision of funds and infrastructures that will help in the realization or actualization of alleviating poverty
