Hypotheses were formulated and tested using relevant data collected using primary and secondary data. We use a questionnaire as an instrument for our Survey research design. A sample size of 1,200, drawn from the study area constituted the population of the study. Chi-square statistical method was used as a statistical tool to test the hypothesis. Our findings from the study revealed that KEKE NAPEP programme in Akwa Ibom State actually bring to bear on the level of poverty existing among the unemployed people but do not really eradicate, rather than reducing the level to some manageable platform. The use of KEKE driving business as a means of poverty reduction among the unemployed populace in Akwa Ibom State still lingers. We postulate based on our findings by recommending that the Akwa Ibom State government should support the Federal Government KEKE NAPEP programme with the view of creating an enabling environment for Akwa Ibom indigenes to benefit from the Federal Government programme. Government by purchasing tricycles in large quantities at subsidised rate and distribute or disburse to KEKE riders and recover the purchase price from them in instalment payments than allowing them to purchase them as hire purchase and pay for them at exorbitant prices like loans from bank leading to penury in some cases as they could not meet up payments which interests were compounded and instead of alleviating their sufferings they were compounded.

Unit root test was used along with some other econometric statistics. Our findings revealed that Government Public expenditure has a weak or slow significant effect on economic development of Nigeria. We recommend that government should increase its Capital expenditure on infrastructure especially on construction of rural roads, electrification, and manufacturing industries, as this will accelerate the rate of growth in the productive sector of the economy as well as raise the standard of living in Nigeria. The provision of basic infrastructures is the bane of development in any nation which must be pursued vigorously so as to move the nation forward developmentally. Lethargic or low expenditure is directed at developmental strides that torpedoes economic development.
