Abstract
Successive governments in Nigeria from independence till date have repeatedly made effort at reducing poverty by establishing series of laudable programmes that could bring succour and smiles to the Nigeria poor masses, but never made any headway owing to formulation or implementation problems. The fallout of these programmes has made informal sector to continue to blossom in the economy as a panacea in reducing poverty. This work assessed the impact of informal sector on poverty reduction in Chikun Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Questionnaires were administered to respondents in the study area to obtained primary data. The evidence from this study reveals that informal sector help significantly in poverty reduction through employment generation and improved earnings of the operators. Government must commit herself to develop the informal sector through implementation of sound financing programs, education and employment policies.
