ABSTRACT
In this work, we examine that the poverty rate is being influenced by
the rate of corruption, conflict and unemployment rate using data
obtained from the National Bureau of Statistics 2003-04, 2009-10
and 2019. Using SPSS 23, the results show that corruption, conflict
and unemployment rates are statistically significant with an F-
Statistics value of 1.706>0.185 (critical value).Hence, both
significantly influence the rate of poverty in Nigeria. The Coefficient
Output Summary difference of the variables suggest a model which is
fitted as
where
is poverty rate and
the variations in the rate of corruption,
conflict and unemployment. The results also show that the poverty
rate in Nigeria increases with increases inthe level of corruption,
conflict and unemployment rate across the 36 States in Nigeria.
