摘要：
Nigeria like most other African countries has responded to the growing challenge of poverty by introducing social protection strategies. Despite the rising popularity of social protection as an anti-poverty intervention throughout Africa, social protection is still inadequate in Nigeria. This article examines major social protection arrangements in Nigeria and challenges associated with them. The article begins by providing a general perspective on poverty and social protection in Nigeria. The article brings into view major reasons for the inadequacy of social protection arrangements in Nigeria.
