Expost facto design, self developed questionnaire, Interview, and documentary analysis as
tools for data collection. Qualitative data was analyzed and presented in themes while
quantitative data was analyzed descriptively using percentage, frequencies, mean, and
standard deviation. Inferentially, multiple regression analysis was used as tool of analysis
to test for significance among various hypotheses. Descriptive statistics was summarized
using the most dominant independent variable item as follows, objective 1 (50%,
mean4.05, standard deviation0.979), objective 2,(40.4.4%,mean 3.63,standard deviation
1.191),objective 3,(44.2%,mean,4.25.standard deviation 0.810),objective 4 (45.2%.,mean
3.89,standard deviation 0.847). Four hypotheses were formulated and subsequently tested
to establish the influence of various independent variables on livelihood thereof, all the
four hypotheses were significant at α=.05 as the values obtained were as follows;
hypothesis H0 1: (P=0.00˂P=0.05), H0 2: (P=0.00˂P=0.05), H0 3: (P=0.002˂P=0.05), H0 4:
(P=0.00˂P=0.05). The small p-values (p<0.05) implies that there is a significant
relationship among the variables leading to rejection of the null hypothesis and hence the
research findings concluded that there is a significant relationship between all the
independent variables and livelihood s of project affected persons. It is thus recommended
that government to set out strategies for the Implementation of PAP, including the process
