ABSTRACT
This study investigates the impact of poverty alleviation programmes on the socio-economic lives of slum dwellers, a case study of Agege Area of Lagos State. Simple random sampling technique was used in selecting the population sample.
A questionnaire was constructed from the hypothesis drawn out by the researcher and was used to elicit information with regard to the issues under investigation. Through this, data were collected and analyzed using statistical tools such as chi-square (X2) test and simple percentage frequency table. The findings showed among other things that there were divergent views about the impact of Poverty Alleviation Programme (PAP) and other poverty eradication programmes on the socio-economic development of Nigeria. More so, the problems encountered during the programmes include: insincerity on the part of the contractors, inadequate sensitization, poor coordination, poor funding and others. In the light of these findings, some suggestions and recommendations were put forward by the researcher to aid government in tackling the issues raised in the research work, which only can be corrected by adequate funding by government political stability and continuity of programmes, proper evaluation of past programmes and why it either succeeded or failed could aid in ensuring the success of subsequent programmes, and finally the community should take the ownership of these programmes and provide a conducive environments for its execution in the interest of all.
