Youth empowerment schemes play a crucial role in poverty alleviation in Nigeria by providing young people with the skills, resources, and opportunities necessary to improve their socio-economic conditions. These programs typically focus on education, vocational training, entrepreneurship, and access to financial services. By equipping the youth with the tools to become self-sufficient and economically productive, these schemes help reduce unemployment and underemployment, which are significant contributors to poverty. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the impact of the youth empowerment scheme on poverty alleviation in FCT, Abuja, Nigeria, using KEKE NAPEEP as a case study. The paper's objective is to investigate the impact of KEKE NAPEEP scheme on drivers' financial situation, standard of living, and employment opportunities in FCT, Abuja. It aims to assess the scheme's effectiveness in these critical areas. We used Spearman's rank correlation coefficient as the estimation technique. The findings indicate that KEKE NAPEEP scheme has significantly enhanced drivers' financial situations, improved their standard of living, and provided better employment opportunities in FCT, Abuja. The paper concludes that the KEKE NAPEEP scheme in FCT Abuja exemplifies effective youth empowerment by significantly improving drivers' financial stability, quality of life, and employment opportunities. It reduces poverty by providing financial aid and vocational training, demonstrating the potential of targeted programs for broader economic and social benefits. To enhance the KEKE NAPEEP scheme's impact, the government should expand it nationwide, invest in comprehensive training, and offer incentives for vehicle upgrades. Regular monitoring and improved access to financial services will also support drivers' financial stability and living standards.
