Twenty (20) respondents of either male or female per head from each district, two hundred and eight (208) were retrieved for analysis. Simple descriptive data analysis were presented with respect to socio-demographic information, family size and determinant factors of poverty and both multivariate and ANOVA for the statistical test.
