In Nigeria, the alarming growth rate of poverty and its effects on the teeming populace is quite de-humanizing. Successive government in Nigeria initiated several policy options geared toward reducing poverty scourge in the country, but such efforts have not yielded the desired result, particularly as the poverty rate is rising astronomically in the country. It is against this back drop that this paper therefore examines the activities of Ebonyi State Community Based Poverty Reduction programme with a view to ascertaining its contributions in the crusade and fight against poverty in Ebonyi State. While adopting review and trends analytical approach, the study revealed that EB-CPRA has to a large extent impacted positively well on the socio-economic lives of the citizenry living below poverty level in the state through several community projects. The paper submits that a lot still need to be done since perennial problem of poverty in Nigeria has not be adequately addressed. Consequently, it recommends among other things, involvement of the rural people in the selection of EB-CPRA projects in the rural communities as the best approach for poverty reduction in Nigeria.

This study determined the effectiveness of Constructivist teaching method on students' performance in metalwork in technical colleges in Yobe State, Nigeria. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design in which intact classes were used. Two research questions were raised to guide the study, two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The sample size was 58 students selected from the two technical colleges in the state. The instrument used for data collection was Metalwork Performance Test (MWPT) which was validated by three experts with a reliability coefficient of 0.82. Mean was used to answer the research questions while ANCOVA was employed to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The study found that students in experimental group performed higher than those in control group. This implies that constructivist teaching method is more effective than lecture method in teaching measurement and marking out; and drilling process. The study therefore recommended that Metalwork teachers should be trained to use constructivist teaching method; also the National Board for Technical Education should consider reviewing its curriculum to incorporate constructivist method of teaching her programs.
