Abstract
This article examines the current debate on the social protection paradigm as a strategy for development. Many scholars view social protection as useful for achieving development while some disagree, advocating the transformative social policy approach. It also identifies the implication of the contributions of these scholars to social policy in Nigeria. This article argues that attacking poverty and vulnerabilities in Nigeria requires the integration of social protection with other social policies, entrenchment of good governance, diversifying the economy, and formulating effective policies that can help stimulate employment generation.
