All levels of government and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in Nigeria are fully engaging in finding solutions to problems arising from poverty including Ogun State Employment Programme (OGEGEP). This study examined the effect of OGEGEP on the poverty status beneficiaries in dressmaking skills acquisition. A two-stage sampling procedure was used to select 49 respondents who had benefited from the OGEGEP training. Primary data was collected using a well-structured questionnaire containing information on respondents personal characteristics and other relevant variables. Data were analyzed using descriptive (frequency, percentage and inferential (t-test) statistics. Results indicate that beneficiaries had an average age of 31.2years.

Though less than half (42.9%) of the beneficiaries were better off post training, only 36.7% had a moderately improved poverty status.

It was recommended that gains of OGEGEP intervention in dressmaking skills be sustained in the state.en_US
