dc.description.abstractIn the complex landscape of narratives surrounding Africa, poverty and development issues take center stage. Unarguably, the elimination of deep poverty is the primary objective of development (World Bank, 2000). The literature is saturated with statistics indicating that Africa, and specifically Nigeria, faces significant poverty and vast inequality. Almost every discourse on governance inAfrica has been reduced to discussions of development (Aladegbola, 2020a, p. 30). The severe lack of essential capabilities such as education, health care, and nutrition among the continent's poor majority poses a threat to development in Africa as a whole, and in Nigeria in particular.
