Sažetak

Despite the numerous agricultural programmes and projects initiated by successful government in Nigeria and huge budgetary spending to reduce poverty, the country is still lagging behind in terms of the impact of the interventions. This article undertakes a review of agricultural programmes implemented in the country, with a view of identifying risks associated with them. The study synthesizes from different literatures on how the programmes have affected the living standard of the targeted beneficiaries, and overall gains and weaknesses of the interventions. The research concluded that the agricultural programmes achieved gains such as improved output, income and living standards, but the benefits are not long lasting in strengthening beneficiaries, future policy implementation, as well as decision making. To this end, the study recommends that subsequent interventions should be established as national strategic plan that can be maintained and sustained by a successive government. Also, value reorientation programmes should be embarked upon in order to dismantle corruption that often frizzle out the benefits of government interventions.
