Poverty Rate In Nigeria By Geo-political Zone, According To NBS Report by TajuDEENaMao: 3:08am On Sep 04, 2023 |
A recent report by Nigeria's data body, the National Bureau of Statistics, shows that 133 million Nigerians are poor. Most of the poor people are highly concentrated in the northern region of the country, despite monthly federal allocations. Poverty by zones shows that the northwest is the epicentre of poverty in the country, with over 45 million poor people. The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) recently released a report on the poverty rate in Nigeria. The report shows that about 133 million Nigerians live in poverty, representing 64 per cent of the entire population. The NBS report surpasses the World Bank projection for Nigeria's poverty rate, which says that about 95.1 million Nigerians will fall into the poverty bracket in 2022. Poverty higher in rural areas of Nigeria The NBS report states that Nigerians are multi-dimensionally poor, taking into account various aspects of poverty indicators, including money poverty, food poverty, and security. The report also revealed that Nigeria is plagued with urban and rural poverty, with the poverty rate higher in rural areas. According to the report, about 70 per cent of Nigerians living in rural areas are poor, while 30 per cent of urban dwellers live in poverty. The report also spotlights Nigeria's poorest states and poorest zones. It shows poverty is higher in the north than in the south, with the northwest being the epicentre of poverty in Nigeria. Despite the monthly allocation by the federal government, the states in the north, mostly plagued by insurgency, banditry and general insecurity, have remained poor. Poverty by geopolitical zones Four of the five poorest states in Nigeria are from the north, while Bayelsa, an oil-producing state, is shockingly ranked second on the index. North-central and northeast follow the northwest. The poorest geo-political zones are: North West has 45.49 million people living in poverty North East has 20.47 million people living in poverty North Central, with about 20.19 million people living in poverty South-South has a high number of people living in poverty, with 19.66 million. South West has about 16.27 million people being poor. And South East is the least poor zone in Nigeria, with 10.86 million living in poverty. A breakdown of poverty by state shows Sokoto as the state with the highest poverty. Kano, 10.51 million Kaduna, 8.04 million Katsina, 6.92 million Sokoto, 5.81 million Jigawa, 5.76 million Bauchi, 5.71 million Akwa Ibom, 5.08 million Benue, 4.71 million Rivers, 4.40 million Plateau, 4.32 million Kebbi, 4.28 million Lagos, 4.22 million Zamfara, 4.17 million Oyo, 3.79 million Ogun, 3.78 million Yobe, 3.23 million Gombe, 3.02 million Kogi, 2.88 million Taraba, 2.81 million Delta, 2.73 million Enugu, 2.63 million Bayelsa, 2.61 million Borno, 2.25 million Osun, 1.88 million Imo, 1.80 million Kwara, 1.72 million Anambra, 1.64 million FCT Abuja, 1.59 million Edo, 1.40 million Nasarawa, 1.36 million Ebonyi, 3.66 million Niger, 3.60 million Adamawa, 3.44 million Cross River, 3.44 million Ekiti, 1.31 million Ondo, 1.30 million Abia, 1.12 million 5 states lead as NBS reports that 133 million Nigerians are living in poverty Recall that Legit.ng reported that the National Bureau of Statistics stated that about 133 million Nigerians are now poor. The NBS, in its National Multidimensional Poverty Index report on Thursday, November 17, 2022, said that about 63 per cent of Nigerians were poor due to a lack of access to health, education, living standards, employment and security. The Index offers different levels of poverty assessment, identifying deprivations across health, education, living standards, work and shocks. https://www.legit.ng/business-economy/economy/1505354-poverty-rate-nigeria-by-geo-political-zone-according-nbs-report/ 3 Likes 2 Shares |

The southwest will do a lot better if we start investing in our youth by empowering them with skills in trade, commerce and ICT which will go a long way in creating a multiplier effect on the southwest economic development.

No matter how lies travels, truth will always catch up with it, defeats it and overtakes it. They claimed SE is the most insecured region, but that has long been bursted. Now the clear poverty index is clear for all to see again. The Nigerian state after 63 years of miserable and directionless steering of the ship of state have repeatedly proven the Igbos to be the right people 22 Likes 5 Shares |

No matter how you like hate the good and Industrious people of South East, they will still be far ahead and above other region. This is FACT. No matter how FG treat and sideline SE, they will always come out strong and much more better compare to any region that have held unto power. This is FACT.

PeterObi4LP:The Nigerian state have never made any meaningful progress since they excluded the SE. Imagine because of sheer hatred, bigotry, and fear of the unknown, they left Allen Onyema that selflessly and sacrificially made available the Air Peace fleets to freight COVID-19 consumables and logistics for a fraudulent deal that was ocastrated by Ahmed Sirika leading to ripping off and causing Nigeria monumental embarrassment.

raskymonojendor:Go to Ikeja computer Village, Alaba and see Igbo wizkids doing wonders. So close that chapter. Calculate the number of owomida thugs, touts and miscreants on Lagos roads then plot a graph of who is more entrepreneurial, productive and profitably engage to show us something here. Meanwhile, remember while the Igbos were still recovering from the catastrophic devastation of the Nigerian civil war inflicted by the Nigerian state in the early 1970 - 90s, Bola Tinubu was trafficking heroin and cocaine in far away Chicago Illoinois. The advent of full fledged drug running by some bastard Igbo sons and daughters was something they learn from the druggie that blazed the trail. Count the numbers of Indian hemp smokers in Lagos motor parks and under all the overpass in Lagos and plot another graph for us here. 23 Likes 5 Shares |
