billante: The National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday in Abuja expressed optimism that by 2015, only 27.2 per cent of the nation’s population would be poor.

The Statistician-General of the Federation and Chief Executive Officer, NBS, Dr. Yemi Kale, represented by the Assistant Director, Millennium Development Goals, NBS, Mr. Iro Godwin, said this during a dialogue organised by the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Millennium Development Goals to review the progress report made by Nigeria on international agreed goals.

The Senior Special Assistant to the President on MDGs, Dr. Precious Gbeneol, will present the country at the United Nations Economic and Social Commission’s Annual Ministerial Review coming up in June in Switzerland.

Kale said, “In 2004, we ran the first National Living Standard Survey and we estimated the number of Nigerians that were living below poverty line at 54.4 per cent.

“Between 1999 and 2015, if we divide 54.4 per cent by two to enable us draw our target, it is expected that by 2015, only 27.2 per cent of Nigeria’s population will be poor.”

Based on the last research conducted in 2010, the NBS noted that the country would need to build about 37.2 per cent of its population to live above the present national poverty line.

Earlier, the Minister of National Planning, Dr. Shamsudeen Usman, represented by Mr. Abraham Taiwo, unveiled plans to make public the nation’s MDG information system soon.

The minister said the system, which will be accessible by governmental and non-governmental organisations, would be vital for policy planning and implementation by all stakeholders.

“Nigeria now has a comprehensive map of health, education, and water and sanitation facilities throughout the country. Not only are the locations of these facilities mapped, but their capacity has been recorded and the gaps in capacity highlighted. All these will soon be made public for policy making and implementation,” Usman said.

The minister further said the MDG information system developed by the Nigeria MDGs Office in partnership with the UN Country Team was designed to increase the accuracy of targeted investment and accelerate the developmental progress at both national and sub-national levels.

He added that the NMIS had been useful in guiding the investment of country’s $1bn debt relief gains in pro-poor activities, especially in the implementation of the Conditional Grant Scheme.

According to him, the CGS has been successful in encouraging states and local governments to increase their spending in areas of education, health and water.

In her remarks, Gbeneol said the forum provided an opportunity for stakeholders to review the progress and challenges being faced in the implementation of the MDGs in the country.

She noted that the national report that would be compiled from contributions at the forum wouldl highlight progress made in the implementation of the national development strategies and policies, key challenges as well as lessons learned for scaling up efforts.

ECOSOC initiated the AMR mechanism for the international community to assess and advance progress towards the IADGs, which includes the MDGs in 2007.

Ignoramuses. So you people now plot a graph and think that will solve the poverty level in Nigeria, without making any efforts to create jobs?

Billyonaire: I hardly see any poor person around. Where are the poor people ?

Check your mirror...i'm sure you'll find a mental and financial pauper there

false

Story for the birds of the air.

Before you shout is a lie. Ask yourself how poor were you five years ago and how has your pocket improved over the past few years. Nigeria is a place that if you are hard working you will never get broke unless you are waiting for the Government to feed you or employ you then you wait for ages. There are lots of services that people are willing to pay for and if you got an idea you will become rich over the years. For example there was this guy i knew in ariaria market who has nothing doing along the line he was able to buy a generator and he started using the generator to provide electricity to few shop owners in the market and each pays him 100 per day, the last time i went to ariaria and met this guy he now owns a BIG Lister Engine and he provides over 500 people with electricity and is not even for a full day. if you check 100 naira into 500 it gives you 50k per day. Mehn guys are making money just use your brain and stop waiting for the Government.

The reason you hardly see easterners complain about bad government is that they can make money from any little thing and hardly you will see anyone relying on the government for anything. If there are people that are supposed to complain about BAD Governance it should be the igbos especially the people in ABIA State because if you go to that state you will wonder if there is any government presence there yet they do carry on with their lives making their money no one depends on the Government for anything. Some streets will contribute money and repair their roads, life moves on, to them the Government can go to hell. They will only have problems with you only when you interfere into there business. What am i trying to say. Everyone should stop waiting for the government cause if you keep waiting for them (government) you will grow white beards.

Billyonaire: I hardly see any poor person around. Where are the poor people ?

Yes, me too. In those 3D hollywood movies we watch in Asorock. Idi*ot

PeeDaVinci: maybe they should start by giving us their clear definition of poverty, they can then follow it by stating the source, methodology of collection and analysis of their data

This is the best I have read in a while. They think everybody is dumb like them. They should give us the paper work, atleast we can read

We are not poor however, Dr Yemi.

*sneezes loudly*
D.amn! I'm allergic to B.S.

Nigerians with their unending impossible projections.what a funny statement.

That's only possible afta they must've 'tinkered' de real definition of poverty...

Politics on point

Talk is cheap.

The folks at NBS have seen a leaked memo which mentions the introduction of a social welfare package

Billyonaire: I just read it now. Its not scam now. I hardly see poor people around.

“Between 1999 and 2015, if we divide 54.4 per cent by two to enable us draw our target, it is expected that by 2015, only 27.2 per cent of Nigeria’s population will be poor.”

What the hell does the part in bold mean?

Statistics of the Rich: The ex-leaders,current leaders,relatives and friends. Few businessmen and women,419ners,Drug Barons,Pastors,Kidnappers etc in calculation they are not up to 10% of the total citizens, in my own view and understanding of what he mean is OPPOSITE. In 2015 27.2% of Nigeria will be RICH while 72.8% will be poor. Unless they will return IBB loot,Abacha,Ibori,Alighemesia,OBJ,GEJ,ATIKU loot etc on,share us the money that when that statistics will work.

[size=48pt]WHEN 75% OF NIGERIANS ARE ILLITERATES IN THE RURAL AREAS AND WITH OVER 67 MILLION ARE STILL JOBLESS AND 22 MILLION OF THEM ARE IN THE BOKO HARAM DEVASTATED NOTHERN REGION?[/size]
