ABSTRACT
This research study focused on the relationship between democratic
governance and social security provision with regard to the present fourth
republic and Ilorin metropolis was chosen as the case study of the
research. It looks at impact of democratic government on social, fiscal and
occupational welfare of Nigerians and also whether social security
provision has led to redistribution of income and wealth among Nigerians.
The data was gathered through probability sampling methods. The
questionnaire was randomly administered within my population of study.
Simple percentage method was first used to present and analyzed the data
collected and the chi-square (X2) method was used to test the four
hypotheses.
The final result of findings revealed that, the Nigerian government
needs to do a lot more in order to fulfill the expectation of the vast
majority from democratic governance. The social security services should
be extended to cover all Nigerians irrespective of the social status.
