Northern states account for much of Nigeria s poverty Mess - Reports

North accounts for much of the national poverty mess. The poverty rate in the North-East and North-West zones of Nigeria is 77.7 per cent and 76.3 per cent respectively, and 67.5 per cent poverty rate in the North-Central zone. A new World Bank report showed that about 2,969,158 Nigerians entered extreme poverty between April and October 2019. It noted that about 94,470,535 million people in Nigeria live below the extreme poverty line. The report also identified the country as the largest poor population in sub-Saharan Africa, with 79 million extremely poor in 2018. The government has to look beyond basking in the euphoria of shallow feats in a troubled economy struggling on a dwindling mono-economy and regular handouts from the centre to generate realistic policy and economic frameworks.
