	%X Poverty alleviation is one of the most difficult
challenges facing third world countries in their development efforts.
Evidences in Nigeria showed that the number of those in poverty has
continued to increase. This paper is aimed at analyzing the
performance of poverty alleviation measures undertaken by
successive administrations in Nigeria with a view to addressing the
quagmire. The study identified the whole gamut of factors that served
as stumbling blocks to the implementation of each of the strategies
and recommended the involvement of local people in the
identification and design of projects so that sufficient participation
could be achieved.
