ABSTRACT
The study examined the World Bank loan conditionalities and the politics of poverty reduction in Africa, with emphasis on Nigeria.
Several decades of grappling with World Bank loan conditionalities and
poverty reduction strategies have, at best, yielded meager returns as poverty
and underdevelopment persist. Thus, the study investigated the
implementation of World Bank loan conditionalities and their impact on social welfare in Nigeria. The study predicated its investigations on the method of analysis derived from Marxian
political economy (dialectical materialism); while method of data
collection was qualitative in nature. Data collected were analyzed using
qualitative descriptive analysis. The study noted, among others, that
there have been politicization, inconsistencies, contradictions and
failures in the implementation of World Bank loan conditionalities. The
study sees the existence of class, poverty and inequality in spite of
mounted programmes and strategies for poverty reduction in Nigeria, to
be intrinsic in the character of political leaders that inherited the
state apparatuses at independence. The study
argues that poverty reduction mantra is a façade as the Nigeria state
institutionalized poverty and inequality. The study recommended that the
neo-colonial capitalist economic system should be jettisoned by our
leaders as it institutionalizes the existence of class which glorifies
the widening gap between the rich and the poor; and equally suggests
that Nigeria should utilize her local resources for production to take
care of her citizens who wallop in abject poverty.
