Poorest states in Nigeria – According to the National Bureau of Statistics, these 10 states are the poorest in Nigeria with over 70% poverty rate. A survey carried out on the bureau’s website, disclosed that Sokoto remains the poorest state in Nigeria with an 81.2% poverty rate. 1. Sokoto Sokoto has unfriendly climate conditions with temperature going as high as 45C on a normal day.Most part 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 amongst 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 it’s economic development and growth. 4.Gombe Gombe is another North eastern state which suffers sporadic attacks from terrorists. 5.Jigawa 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 9. Kebbi 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.

Painful to see Plateau state in that list, thanks to the nomad canker worms that wreck havoc wherever they go. Plateau, when it comes to agriculture and tourism, used to have one of the highest IGR in the North Central. Thanks to Fulani herdsmen, the state is almost desolate now. Just like the aftermath of a massive locust plague. That same scenario is gradually beginning to play out in the South. 3 Likes |

ramdris:Osun is a well-to-do state until AreGBESE(king of debts) took up mantle of leadership. The living standard is really good in osun even up till now except for the unpaid salaries, no-commissioned roads and the dwindling economy of the state under the "inconclusive" government in the state. 2 Likes |

Solowande:Osun is not broke. "STATE OF OSUN" is the one that is broke. He didn't borrowed money with "Osun state" as the receiver but state of osun. When that guy steps down, he will surely account for the billions he had borrowed with "state of osun" because Nigerians don't know any State of Osun but "OSUN STATE"--state of the living spring. What Nigerians know is: OSUN STATE---state of the living spring and not STATE OF OSUN--state of the virtous 1 Like |

You talked 'bout poorest states and yet you didn't elucidate their Fed. allocation, IGR, expenditures & other relevant portfolios; You just talk 'bout menace causing perpetual mayhem which in 60% of the affected states listed above have been dealt with or is seasonal-like problem (long term interval before another reoccurence eg Plateau State). This is mere shit by someone who's poor in research or at making astute theory. 1/10. |

Destitution can cause everything, I'm sure if another list should be created for states with highest number of illiterates, this OP's hometown will top the list. Next time when you feel like trying something like this, know that you're just a piece of sh!t and cannot fabricate lies and be your own source. |
