Abstract
Abstract Nigeria is the most populous state in Africa and is endowed with abundant human and material resources. Despite this, poverty remains a major problem without adequate formal social protection arrangements. Before the reinstatement of democracy in 1999, some scholars viewed military rule as the source of the problem. This makes it pertinent to ascertain whether the practice of democracy in Nigeria since 1999 has improved the social protection arrangements for poverty amelioration and social cohesion in Nigeria. With the aid of secondary data, the chapter indicates that inadequate coverage of social protection arrangements under increasing levels of vulnerabilities and rising poverty in Nigeria make social cohesion illusory. This is substantiated with several cases of attacks on warehouses where social protection items procured for vulnerable people are kept.
