The World Bank has predicted that by 2030, about nine out of 10 extremely poor people in the world will live in sub-Saharan Africa, which includes Nigeria and others. The Bretton Woods institution, which gave its forecast in its report named Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2018, affirmed that the forecast for 2018 suggested that Nigeria would take over from India as the country with the poorest people. According to the report, the rate of extreme poverty and the number of poor in South Asia, which has been constantly declining, would continue, resulting in a shift in poverty from South Asia to Sub-Saharan Africa. “In a sign of change, however, forecasts for 2018 suggest that India’s status as the country with the poorest is ending; Nigeria either already is, or soon will be, the country with the poorest people. “The extreme poverty rate and the number of poor in South Asia have been steadily declining and are expected to continue that trend. The result of this trend is a shift in poverty from South Asia to Sub-Saharan Africa. “By 2030, the portion of the poor living in Sub-Saharan Africa could be as large as 87 per cent on the basis of historical growth rates,” the new report noted. The World Bank in this report themed: “Piecing Together the Poverty Puzzle,” stated that, even if every other country in the world had zero extreme poverty by 2030, the average rate in Sub-Saharan Africa would have to decrease from the 2015 rate of 41 per cent to about 17 per cent for the global average to be 3 per cent.
