Abstract:
The situation in Nigeria is worrisome when the rate per capita income, illiteracy and standard of living of most Nigerians remain very low. The narrative of poverty has over the decades, remained one of the endemic obstacles to the social wellbeing of the people of Africa - undermining their happiness, social peace, unity, development and general progress. As such, this study, examines NEPAD towards ensuring sustainable development in Nigeria. It employed causal design, utilising documentary evidence as a method of data collection and was analysed qualitatively. The study summarised that due to the excruciating effect of poverty in Africa, especially Nigeria, the emergence of NEPAD is seen as a desired key that will unlock the problems. Thus, it discovered that the adoption of NEPAD's strategy has not done much in promoting sustainable development in Nigeria. It thus, recommends that the organization must embark on poverty alleviation programmes with full records and physical evidences of activities in skill acquisition, financial empowerment and production to show poverty alleviation proofs. Also, NEPAD needs to be restructured in a manner that every fund meant for it, whether national or international, enters its account.
