False.
As the earth is flattened at the poles, and we know that the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to square of the separation, it is maximum at the poles. So effective value of g is more at the poles is 9.832 m/s^2. At the equator the g is 9.780 m/s^2.

Due to the equitorial bulge, i.e. the equator being more bulged towards the outside, the poles are nearer to the centre of the earth, as compared to the equatorial region.
And as the acceleration due to gravity is inversely proportional to the distance from the centre of the earth,
as the distance is less on poles, the acc. due to gravity(g) is more.False
Hope it helped.
