Effects of Social Protection Programmes on Poverty in Nigeria
The study investigates the effect of social protection programmes on
poverty in Nigeria. The study aim at determining the effect of government
social protection programmes such as government transport, education, health,
agriculture, social & community work and construction services on poverty.
The study employed the use of secondary data ranges from 1980-2016 from CBN
data base and WDI. The variables have different order of stationarity, some
were stationary at first differenced while others at second differenced and
some at both first and second differenced but no variable was stationary at level. The
co-integrating test shows that there is a long-run relationship among the
variables, and dynamic OLS was adopted in ascertaining the causal relationship
between the independent variables and per capita real GDP (proxy for poverty).
The findings of the study shows that , recurrent expenditure on social
protection programmes such as government services on education, health,
construction activities, agriculture, transport and social & community
services have impact on per capita real GDP, which implies increase in social
welfare and thus result in reducing poverty situation in Nigerian. Also,
recurrent expenditure on transport sector was shown to have great impact on
social welfare and enhance poverty level. Also, capital expenditure on economic
services and social & community services was discovered to have a great and
positive impact on per capita real GDP in Nigerian and social welfare. However,
capital expenditure on social and community services is noted to be the most
effective social protection programmes that can improve social welfare and thus
reduce poverty. Based on the findings, the following were recommended;
government should promote subsidy in the area of transport cost, increases in
capital investment in social & community services and proper targeting of
social protection programmes.
