Abstract

The study examined the efficacy of the Trader and Marketmoni micro-credit loan scheme on Ediaken market beneficiaries in the local government council area of Egor, Edo State, Nigeria. The study utilized the social welfare theory as the framework of analysis.

The population of the study comprised Trader and Market Moni beneficiaries of Edaiken Market in the government council areas mentioned above. The study sample consists of two thousand respondents: one thousand four hundred for Trader Moni and six hundred for MarketMoni respondents respectively.

The study's major results established that the Trader and Market Moni programme showed a strong positive impact on the poverty reduction of Ediaken Market beneficiaries in Egor Local Government Area, Edo State. The study concludes that the Trader and Market Moni programme has largely contributed to the poverty reduction of beneficiaries compared to non-beneficiaries in the studied area.

Arising from the above, it was recommended that the Nigerian Federal Government should reorganize and expand the scope of the Trader and Market Moni programme, given the remarkable impact of small-medium scale as well as petty businesses' influence on the economic growth and development of any nation, among others.
