Abstract

The Nigerian government expects to effectively pull 100 million Nigerians out of poverty by 2030. Without a doubt, the government was compelled to intervene because of the country’s severe poverty, as seen by the large number of out-of-school children, gender-based difficulties, and the residents’ pitiful socioeconomic realities. And, in order to get out of these mudslides, the government decided it was time to create a plan capable of resolving these concerns in less than a decade. However, tracing the Nigerian government’s track record of developmental failure, misplaced priorities, hasty policy formulation, and poor policy implementation that have remained recurrent feral flaws in the system, the paper expresses a cynical view about the plan’s realization; relying on historical accounts of vision failures and the country’s economic realities, it sees the scheme as an overzealous project taken too far and submits that it will be nothing different from the failed visions of the past.

尼日利亚的减贫计划:把自己传播得太薄?
尼日利亚政府预计到2030年将有效地使1亿尼日利亚人摆脱贫困。毫无疑问,政府被迫进行干预是因为该国的严重贫困,大量失学儿童、基于性别的困难以及居民可怜的社会经济现实就是明证。而且,为了摆脱这些泥石流,政府决定是时候制定一个能够在不到十年的时间内解决这些问题的计划了。然而,在追踪尼日利亚政府发展失败、优先事项错位、政策制定仓促和政策执行不力的记录时,该文件对该计划的实现表示了怀疑;根据对愿景失败的历史描述和该国的经济现实,它认为该计划过于激进,并认为它与过去失败的愿景没有什么不同。
