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%).

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.

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
