HEY!!
This is because the distance from the poles to the equator starts increasing. The equator is longer than that of the poles. So, the value of g becomes 0.

Because Earth is not exactly spherical.
Equatorial diameter is more than Polar diameter.
g = GM / R²
From this equation value of g is MORE at poles because distance between surface of earth and centre of earth is LESS at poles than that on equator.
