ABSTRACT
This study is being carried to assess the mid-point (2000-2007)
achievement of goal one(eradicate extreme poverty and hunger) of Millennium
Development Goal in Nigeria. The research is guided by three Hypotheses which
are drawn from the Problem statements and objectives of the study. Related
literatures are reviewed in the study. The Data are sourced from both the Primary
and Secondary sources available. The questionnaire is the only source of primary
data collection. The questionnaire was drawn from the research objectives. Simple
statistical methods such as table and percentage are used to analyze data while
simple percentage is used to test the three Hypotheses formulated. The findings
indicated that the poverty rate of Nigeria before 2000 and afterwards have been
on the increase in spite of the current Millennium Development Goal whose goal
one is, to eradicate poverty and hunger before 2015. This study equally goes
further to discovering major obstacles militating against effective poverty
reduction such as: corruption, bad leadership, improper and inadequate planning,
non-involvement of the main beneficiaries(poor masses). Finally, some
recommendations and conclusion are made to ratify the problems identified.
