Abstract

This study examined the impact of poverty on the education of the girl-child in Adamawa State, Nigeria. The primary objective is to examine the effect of poverty on girl-child education in Adamawa State, the efforts put in place at reducing poverty and enhancing the girl-child education, effective are these efforts in enhancing girl- child education in the challenges militating against the efforts put in place at curbing poverty against the girl-child education in the state. The research employs a qualitative approach, utilizing secondary data analyzed through content analysis and framed within the cultural feminist theoretical perspective. Findings reveal that poverty exacerbates gender disparities in education, as girls from low-income families are more vulnerable to early marriage, domestic labor, and withdrawal from school due to financial constraints. Additionally, cultural attitudes that undervalue female education and rising education costs further limit opportunities for girls. The study concludes that comprehensive and gender-sensitive interventions such as scholarship programs, community sensitization, and enhanced educational infrastructure are essential to promoting equitable access to education and breaking the cycle of poverty for the girl-child in Adamawa State.

Abstract

Gender empowerment is currently the main focus of attention from researchers, governments, and other stakeholders. The concept of women's empowerment contains various meanings. This paper attempts to look into gender empowerment as a strategy for national development with more focus on women. The data for this study is generated through secondary sources of data collection from journals, textbooks, and materials from the internet. The study recommends that Nigerian government policy should always consider the female gender for necessary support, and upliftment, as this will help to improve their status and enhance national development in Nigeria. Across the country, there is an urgent need for women's development and self-employment training institutes. Empowerment programs initiated by successive governments should be sustained and not allowed to waste. In other words, there should be continuity of programs after each government has left office. The issue of maintenance culture should be revisited and imbibed by government agencies and all stakeholders in development so that the various empowerment programs will not be abandoned and resources invested in the programs wasted.
