ABSTRACT
. This study analyzed the analysis of the population of street beggars in Abuja Municipal
Area Council (AMAC). It made use of both primary and secondary data. Using multistage
sampling technique, a sample of 400 street beggars was purposively selected and
questionnaire administered to them. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques
were employed to analyze the data. The result shows that 77.5% of the beggars were males as
against 22.5% for females. Also, majority of the sampled beggars were Hausa/Fulani
(41.5.7%) of northern origin; and 2.75% of the beggars were non-Nigerians. The Chi Square
result shows that calculated X² (17.691) and is greater than the critical value. (9.488) thereby
rejecting the hypothesis hence, there is a significant difference between socio-economic
effects of street begging and the resident population in the study area. One-way Analysis of
Variance (ANOVA) statistical technique was employed to test for the significant difference in
the distributions of the street beggars in the selected six wards. The result of the ANOVA
shows that the p-value .917 is greater than the alpha value 0.05 thereby accepting the null
hypothesis hence, the variations in the distribution of the street beggars among the selected
wards was insignificant because all the wards are having high proportion of beggars. Street
begging is carried out by diverse people regardless of age, sex, religion and marital status.
Based on the findings, it was recommended that Government should encourage western
education for adolescent and youth beggars in order to empower them economically. Also,
creation of job opportunities can go a long way to minimize street begging. Moreover,
guidance and counseling services should also be made available with a bid to reduce the
menace of street begging.
