Here are the top 10 poorest states in Nigeria 2019 according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS)

Nigeria is a country blessed with mineral resources and is made up of 36 states. These states are meant to be productive based on their available natural resources, and are meant to have a strong and honest government capable of managing these natural resources to generate its revenue.

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.

Top Ten (10) Poorest States in Nigeria 2019
1. Sokoto state
Sokoto state is rated as the poorest state in Nigeria, ranking 81.2% on poverty level. Its harsh climate conditions has made its a no go area and has prevented foreigners and foreign investors to come for investment in the state. It is also the seat of the Caliphate.

2. Kastina state
Located at the deepest part of the north western area of Nigeria, Kastina state made it in the list of poorest states in Nigeria because it has fewer or no solid investment or sector that generates revenue for the state.

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%.

4. Gombe state
Gombe state which is located at the north-eastern part of Nigeria is also facing its own peril in security with crippled economy to a 73.2% poverty level.

5. Jigawa state
A state situated at the north-western part of Nigeria and basically populated with the Hausa/Fulani tribe. With low literacy level and low economic growth, the poverty level of Jigawa state is at 72.1%.

6. Plateau state
Although, plateau state is one of the highest populated state in Nigeria and has some tourist attractions, It has also suffered a long timely tribal conflict which has carelessly destroyed its economy by 71%

7. Ebonyi state
Unfortunately this is the only state in the South-East that falls under the top poorest states in Nigeria with poverty rate of 70.6% due to poverty, illiteracy and bad government.

8. Bauchi state
According to the National Bureau of Statistics, Bauchi was ranked among states that are poor.

Statistics shows that majority of the residents in this area lack the basic amenities of life and it is a war torn zone. The mortality rate recorded after the various insurgent attack is overwhelming.

9. Kebbi state
Kebbi is a state in north-western Nigeria. Its capital is Birnin Kebbi. The state also listed among the 10 states that have the highest poverty rate in the country. Its rating is 72%.

10. Zamfara state
With 70.8 percent poverty rate, Zamfara has been ranked by the NBS among the poorest states in the country 2019. Strife, disease and hunger affects the residents of this state a lot.

Wrapping up
A lot has been said above concerning these states, from bad government to negligence, lack of jobs which causes unemployment, poverty, etc. We wonder how these affected states will fare in the future.

Niger has been ranked the state with the lowest poverty rate, closely followed by Osun state with 37.9 percent and Ondo 45.7 percent. Bayelsa and Lagos both have less than 50 percent poverty rate, with 47 and 48.6 percent respectively.

Pathetic!

How reliable is this? Where's Kogi?

Waiting for the tribal bigots.

Nigeria is made up of 36 Poor states and 1 very poor country...so counting 10 out of 36 doesn't mean the rest 26 aren't poor...don't let any bureau of blablabla to deceive you

Stupid list!

Wow No wonder!

All Nigeria states are rich just that we have so many clueless people as governors

If these aforementioned states all have natural resources, why are they still poor ?

Just say North-Nigeria is the poorest region in Africa

Please remove ebonyi state from the list...that state alone can feed three states from other region

How did Ebonyi end up on this list with ail the usual suspects? Poverty and wretchedness is the natural portion of abo-kis and they would have scored their normal 10/10 if not for Ebonyi. Dem just dey fall Southern Nigeria hand.

We have even more clueless and utterly stupid nyash kissers on NL who are forever singing the praises of their incompetent masters.

Don't be deceived, EBONYI STATE is an almajiri state, real igbos don't see them as igbos. Ebonyi people are considered as almajiri-igbos. Ebonyi people are considered as 3rd class igbos. Ebonyi state and its people are cursed with poverty, backwardness and illiteracy. Almost 95% of Ebonyi population are illiterates.

They don't go to school, they are usually found on the major cities of Lagos, Abuja, Onitsha, Warri and Kano, hawking gala and bread.

It is hard to find anyone from Ebonyi that owns a car, they constitute the poorest of the poor in the SE, SS and SW. Abakaleke miscreants like Anago0147 can confirm this.

The poorest states are the bottom 10 on this list.

Stop posting nonsense

That's just too bad. But why won't other SE states come to their rescue?

OP is talking about the percentage of people within a state who are living below the poverty line, not revenue generation.

Like seriously? It's hard to find anyone that own a car, so the cars in Ebonyi State are owned by your father right? If the whole Ebonyi people are found in major cities, the people living in Ebonyi State are your family abi?
95% illiterates? I will stop here because I know you are not Igbo. I would have responded to you accordingly

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

Take your tears to NBS. Ebonyi is worse than my previous description
