Background of the Study
Fiscal policy reforms are designed to reshape the economic environment by modifying taxation, public spending, and regulatory frameworks. In Nigeria, reforms introduced between 2023 and 2025 have targeted improvements in income growth by creating a more efficient, equitable, and growth-oriented fiscal system. These reforms include adjustments in tax structures, increased social spending, and policies aimed at stimulating private sector development. The objective is to enhance the distribution of income across different segments of society and promote sustainable economic growth (Chukwu, 2023; Adeyemi, 2024).
Income growth is critical for improving living standards and reducing poverty. By reforming fiscal policies, the government aims to increase disposable incomes, foster job creation, and stimulate consumption. However, the impact of these reforms depends on the efficiency of implementation and the degree to which they address structural challenges such as income inequality and unemployment. While some sectors have experienced positive outcomes, others continue to face stagnation due to factors like bureaucratic inefficiencies and corruption. This study seeks to examine the effects of fiscal policy reforms on income growth in Nigeria, analyzing the mechanisms through which these reforms affect wage levels, employment rates, and overall economic welfare. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of how fiscal adjustments can be optimized to foster broader income growth.
Statement of the Problem
Despite ambitious fiscal policy reforms aimed at promoting income growth in Nigeria, empirical evidence indicates that significant disparities in income persist (Chukwu, 2023). While reform measures have led to improvements in revenue mobilization and public investment, the translation of these benefits into tangible increases in household income remains uneven. Structural challenges, including regional disparities, inefficient implementation, and corruption, have diluted the intended impact of the reforms (Adeyemi, 2024). Moreover, the rapid pace of policy changes has sometimes resulted in transitional disruptions that adversely affect income growth. These challenges have raised concerns regarding the effectiveness of fiscal reforms in achieving their income growth objectives. This study seeks to identify the barriers that impede the successful translation of fiscal policy reforms into measurable income growth and to propose strategies for overcoming these obstacles.
