1.Sokoto Sokoto has unfriendly climate conditions with temperature going as high as 45C on a normal day. Most parts of the state are rural areas and over eighty percent (80%) of the inhabitants of Sokoto practice one form of agriculture or another. 2. Katsina Katsina is a state in North central Nigeria and has the highest poverty prevalence among all states in the region. 3. Adamawa Formed in 1991 from the extinct Gongola state, Adamawa has of late been terrorized by the Boko Haram terrorists, disrupting its economic development and growth. 4. Gombe Gombe is another North eastern state which suffers sporadic attacks from terrorists. 5. Jigawa Jigawa state is situated in the north-western part of the country. It is mostly populated by the Hausa/Fulani, who are spread throughout the state. It has a 74.1 percent poverty rate. 6. Plateau Plateau state is the twelfth largest state of Nigeria haunted by some terrorist attacks and tribal clashes from time to time, especially clashes between Fulani herdsmen and its inhabitants. 7. Ebonyi Ebonyi is the only south-eastern state among the top 9 poorest country. 8. Bauchi In Hausa the word Bauchi meansthe land of freedom and tourism. However recent Boko Haram adventures in the area, though few, have driven tourists away from the area. 9. Kebbi It is bordered by Sokoto State,Niger State,Dosso Regionin the Republic of Niger and the nation of Benin. The recently concluded Sir Ahmadu Bello International Airport (SABIA), stands out as one of Nigeria’s most sophisticated airports and is expected to boost the state’s economy. 10. Zamfara Recently the governor was blasted for the “alarming scope of economic dangers and its potential threat to the economic development of the state,” by the Zamfara Budget Working Group. Niger is the state with the lowest poverty rate which is 33.8%. It was followed by Osun (37.9%) and Ondo (45.7%). Bayelsa (47%) and Lagos (48.6%) have less than 50% poverty rate. The average poverty rate in the Northwest geopolitical zone is 71.4%, which remained the highest in the said area. It is followed by the Northeast region which has 69.1% and the North central region which has 60.7%. Poverty was least dominant in the Southwest (49.8%), South-South (55.5%), and South-East regions (59.5%). 2 Likes 1 Share |

mulattoclaro:Shut up. Kogi is undeveloped but people living there are not as poor as you think. I went to my village and I was surprised that they had money more than me that live in Lagos. They engage in various businesses that are profitable. They are not rich but they are not as poor as the core notherners. Those guys are even forcing me to come back to my state. They assured me that there is money in Kogi State, there are enough food and fruits etc. You read the other thread of badly governed states and you took it upon yourself to mention Kogi when anything bad is said about Nigerian states. |

MEILYN:God punish your head there. Who dash you and kogi? |
Re: See The 10 Poorest States by MEILYN(m): 2:50pm On Jun 08, 2015 |
mulattoclaro:You just proved me right. Go to Kogi State and they will feed you and your entire generation. There is no hunger in my land. Get that into your messed up brain. Idi0tic son of a lunatic from the capital of witchcraft state. |

dokyOloye: It's been long I read about Yobe as a state in the news oh, hope it hasn't been merged into Borno? |
Re: See The 10 Poorest States by WIZGUY69(m): 4:33pm On Jun 08, 2015 |
dokyOloye: Ebonyi is too poor, that's the bitter truth. An average Ebonyi man is a hunter. That state is too poor ranging from the head (govt) to the tail ( masses). You can even count the number of tarred road in Abakiliki. how when did you hear any good news from the state |
