ABSTRACT
Nigeria has been variously described as a country with strong growth potential. Reports indicate that the Nigerian economy has been growing at an average of 6% per year consistently for over 7 years. Yet despite this growth in the gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment, poverty and inequality have continued to expand (UNDP, 2010; FGN, 2010). The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported that the percentage of people living in poverty increased from 27.2% in 1980 to 46.3% in 1985, dropped to 42.7% in 1992 and then increased to 65% in 1996. By 2010, the poverty level was at 69%, indicating that about 112.47 million Nigerians are living below the poverty line (NBS, 2010). The main objective of this study is the effect of poverty, corruption, social policy and social development in Nigeria.
