A former member of the House of Representatives, Robinson Uwak said poor data gathering and implementation of policies are key reasons poverty alleviation programmes failed in Nigeria.

In a statement, the former lawmaker said the high level of poverty and gross inequality in the country was a threat to national security, stability and unity.

Commending President Bola Tinubu for the equitable distribution of resources in spite of dwindling revenue, he called for a more sustainable approach to addressing the situation.

He said, “poverty alleviation ought to be treated as a development policy, not a charity project, this is why programmes are not only ineffective but unstable.”
