Abstract
This paper appraised the impact of the present administration‟s National Social
Intervention Programmes (NSIP) as peace and development mechanism in
Nigeria. The paper relies on journals, books, conference papers, government
official report, reports from international organizations, observations, as well as
newspapers and magazines as source of data and relevant information. It is purely
an evaluative research, guided by the Marxist/conflict theoretical perspective. The
paper fines that the rate of insecurity, poverty, unemployment, food insecurity and
so on, are still high in spite of the four (4) years plus of NSIP fight against it. The
paper therefore recommends people‟s and experts involvement, reduction of
unemployment and hunger and fighting insecurity; construction and building of
critical infrastructures as well as development of human capital among others as
measures to addressing these challenges.
