The issue of poverty in Nigeria has been described as pervasive andpalpable on the people especially the rural dwellers. This is in spiteof the country′s vast natural and human resources. Poverty is notonly a state of existence but also a process with many dimensions andcomplexities. It has been estimated that poverty in Nigeria willincrease by two-thirds with the possibility of 60% of the populationliving below poverty line in ten years. Consequent upon the foregoing,this study determined the micro level impact of national Fadama IIproject on rural poverty in Imo State, Nigeria.
