The plan by former president Muhammadu Buhari to lift 100 million Nigerians out of endemic poverty by the year 2030 using appropriate social protection programmes and to know the extent to which this has been achieved through N-Power programmes necessitated the study. The objective of the study was to determine how N-Power worked to reduce the food poverty of beneficiaries in Oredo L.G.A of Edo State. The study leverages empowerment theory and the population of the study comprises N-Power batch A and B enrollees who served in Oredo L.G.A. of Edo State.. The researchers reviewed relevant literature in the area of the study and to have a robust knowledge of the subject matter of discourse the study utilised mixed methods of data collection which involved the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods. Taro Yamani scientific tools were used to obtain an optimum sample size of 345 for N-Power batches A and B respectively. The hypothesis raised was tested with the Pearson correlation statistical method. Findings revealed that N-Power programme has improved the general standard of living of beneficiaries, and closed the food poverty inequality gap between beneficiaries against non-beneficiaries of the programme in the aforementioned local government area. The study recommends that Government should enshrine social protection programmes into the Nigerian constitution, Government at all levels should evolve different food intervention programmes such as food stamps, and food vouchers among others to address the biting challenges of food poverty in Nigeria.
