Abstract
Nigeria has a longstanding and lingering poverty obstacle despite she has been tried
many series of anti-poverty programmes and policies in her history to alleviate the
problem in the economy. However, this paper attempts to examine the managing
immediate action for women and poverty reduction in Nigeria, especially in Kwara
state, using generic theory or simply blaming the system explanation. Under the
premise that the poverty is basically caused among the women in the country by the
system and society as opposed to the causes of poverty by the individual poor women,
themselves. This paper is based largely on academic research that is currently
undertaken by the researcher on Kwara state, Nigeria. The paper is conceptual in
nature and analytical method is used based on the previous literature to give account
to prompt action to manage the poverty situation particularly of the women in the
state. The finding shows that government is much more responsible for the
longstanding poverty in the country through her inability and failure to provide
sufficient socioeconomic amenities for the public and managing the existing ones. It
is concluded that the government should try to manage and procure adequate
socioeconomic amenities that can assist directly and indirectly, the masses
particularly women to reduce poverty incidence in the country. Finally, some policy
measures are being recommended to tackle the problem of poverty in general
