The growing level of the poverty
rate in Nigeria is alarming as the
country, according to a report by
Brookings Institution, recently
overtook India as the nation with
the highest number of extremely
poor people.
Months after Nigeria took over from
India as the poverty capital of the
world, the World Poverty Clock
created by Vienna-based World Data
Lab put the number of Nigerians
living with extreme poverty at
88,011,759.
According to the World Poverty Clock,
“the outlook for poverty alleviation
in Nigeria is currently weak,” with
nearly six people slipping into
extreme poverty every minute.
up.The World
Bank, IMF, United Nations, forecast
that Nigeria will not hit the 2030
target for ending global poverty.
Further study also indicates that
Nigeria’s poverty level is more
concentrated in some states in the
country than the other.
Below is a list of the states with the
high poverty rate in Nigeria:
1. Zamfara state – 92%
2. Jigawa state – 88%
3. Bauchi state – 87%
4. Kebbi state – 86%
5. Katsina state – 82.2%
6. Taraba state – 78%
7. Gombe state – 77%
8. Ebonyi state – 56%
9. Plateau state – 51.6%

Meanwhile, wife of President
Muhammadu Buhari, Aisha, has
reassured Nigerians that the president
will use his second term to alleviate
poverty by closing the gap between
the rich and the poor.
Aisha said this on Saturday, March 2,
during a dinner organised by her at
the State House Conference Center in
Abuja, to celebrate the president’s
victory.
Similarly, Prophet Emmanuel Omale who
predicted the victory of President
Buhari in the 2019 election again
predicted that the second coming of
the president will benefit the poor.
In an interview with Nigerian
Tribune, the Founder of Divine Hand
of God International Ministries said it
is his duty to tell people what he
heard from God.
