The study utilized data covering the period from 1981 to 2022. The model is logged and estimated and the data stationary is obtained using ADF test for unit root. The empirical findings shows that population growth has a negative and insignificant impact on poverty rate while Unemployment rate, Real Gross Domestic Product and inflation rate has a positive and insignificant impact on poverty rate in Nigeria.
