Poorest states in Nigeria But the reverse is the case as some states are down to poverty by 70 percent. However, these poor states in Nigeria became poor due to bad governance, mismanagement of state resources or security issues as the case may be.
We have listed the poorest states in the country according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, using infrastructural development, state of economy, literacy level, security and governance to compile this list of 10 poorest states in Nigeria this 2018.

3. Adamawa state Due to the frequent attack from Boko Haram terrorists, Adamawa state’s economy has crippled as a result of its citizens running away from the state because of safety. It has affected the state poorly to a poverty level of 74.2%.

Says a lunatic from a cursed region. Ebonyi state has far gone beyond the initial backwardness she was known for. She doesn't belong there and that makes me doubt the credibility of publishers of this statistics. If Ebonyi should be there, states like Benue also should be there. For the Niger state to be adjudged the best followed by Osun, then this is crap
