1.4 SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
The significance of the study:
The statistical analysis of poverty as a disease in Nigeria (a case
study of the southsouth geopolitical zone of Nigeria) is a project that
will be able to investigate, and analyse how pervasive, and chronic
poverty is in Nigeria, and particularly, in the southsouth geopolitical
zone of Nigeria.
It will also be able to investigate the causes of
poverty as a disease in Nigeria and the remedial actions that could be
taken to be able to reduce or eradicate poverty in the country.
The
findings from this investigation will also enable the Government to
formulate suitable policies and programmes that would address the issues
of poverty and how they relate to the human, and socioeconomic
development. This would consequently, provide a meaningful and at least
average standard of living for the masses, especially the poor masses in
the southsouth zone, and in the country as a whole.
