The 10 Poorest States In Nigeria+See The State With The Highest Poverty Rate(pic by stephenduru: 7:22am On Nov 29, 2015 |
The National Bureau of Statistics has released data listing the 10 poorest states in Nigeria after a recent survey was carried out on the bureau’s website. 1. Sokoto It is listed as the poorest state in Nigeria with a poverty rate of 81.2%. The state is known for its hostile climatic conditions with normal day temperature as high as 45 Degrees Celsius. 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 This state in North central Nigeria has the highest poverty prevalence among all states in the region. 3. Adamawa Created 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 Another North eastern state which suffers sporadic attacks from terrorists. 5. Jigawa It 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 It is the twelfth largest state of Nigeria, and is haunted by terrorist attacks and tribal clashes from time to time, especially clashes between Fulani herdsmen and its inhabitants. 7. Ebonyi It is the only south-eastern state among the top 10 poorest states. 8. Bauchi In Hausa the word Bauchi means, the 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 Region in 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 The governor of Zamfara 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 is 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 is least dominant in the Southwest (49.8%), South-South (55.5%), and South-East regions (59.5%)

Osun state is the poorest state in Nigeria,i served there and even the Ife I stayed was just there.Go to areas like ikirun,ila-oragun,ikire etc you would weep. That state should be merged with ekiti,those states are not developed enough at all. I'm never going back to such poor state! I rep Gidi,ajah to be precise. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

petkruz:Nigeria as a country is very poorly managed third world entity. So what do you expect of the states ?. It's leadership problems that can only be corrected if the youths whose life are being mortgaged stands up for revolution. If not, the country will be forever doomed. A country that is supposed to be an Eldorado turned to Junkyard due to corruption and nepotism. |

FKO81: Do you want him to copy the stats from igberetvnews.com? Why are you confusing yourself? So because the GDP of China is higher than that of America, China is automatically richer than America? Don't run mad, go back and check the source of the stats. dalu 3 Likes 1 Share |
