Abstract
Poverty is currently one of the most serious problems in Nigeria, the poverty
level in Nigeria contradict the immense wealth/resources of this Country
such as Human, Agricultural, Petroleum, gas and Solid Mineral to the
Nigeria Government at all levels.
It is evident that poverty scourge has assumed an unprecedented upsurge in
Chikun Local Government Area.
Our concern is to identify means of stimulating economic growth through
engagement of the youth in semi-skilled and unskilled labour. The method
of data analysis used in this study involves descriptive statistical techniques
such as simple percentage and tabulation, which were used to analyze the
data comprehensively. It is undoubtedly known, that government core
poverty alleviation institutions have little or no impact on the people (youth).
Some apparent reasons for the failure of previous programmes of
government include; multiplicity of implementing agencies which allows for
gross managerial inefficiency.
Therefore, Government should provide conducive environment and extends
infrastructure / social amenities such as good roads, pipe born water,
electricity and so on, for the programme to achieve its meaningful objective
of reducing poverty and improving the living standard of the citizenry
