Top 10 Poorest States In Nigeria (2021 Updated) by Ctorch: 10:43pm On Mar 17, 2021 |
Top 10 Poorest States in Nigeria (2021 Updated) Nigeria is a nation favored with mineral assets and is comprised of 36 states. These states are intended to be profitable dependent on their accessible characteristic assets and are intended to have a solid and fair government fit for dealing with these normal assets to produce its income. 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. According to data from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the 10 poorest states in Nigeria 2019 has been listed below, using infrastructural development, state of the economy, literacy level, security and governance to compile this list of 10 poorest states in Nigeria. Here's the list of the Top 10 Poorest States in Nigeria; 1. Sokoto State Sokoto state is rated as the poorest state in Nigeria, ranking 81.2% on the poverty level. Its harsh climate conditions have made its a no go area and have 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 northwestern 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 in the north-eastern part of Nigeria is also facing its own peril in security with a crippled economy to a 73.2% poverty level. 5. Jigawa State A state situated in the north-western part of Nigeria and basically populated with the Hausa/Fulani tribe. With a 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 states 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 a 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.

SuperBold: Plateau state is far much better than Osun state and Ekiti state combined together let alone bringing them in comparison to Zamfara state.. The list is skewed and Yemi wale is only feeding gullibility by sitting on NBC. Osun state that fights over a satchet of garri or is it one million boys or Awawa youths that sprang up during covid-19.. What is Yemi NBC definition of poverty? 16 Likes 2 Shares |

I am glad Benue didn't appear. Now, my B. P can return to normal. You have no idea how a poverty tag can affect a group of people psychologically, but the fact still remains that poverty is relative. 2 Likes |

A country that does not even know its actual population cannot be talking about poverty. If the National Bureau of Statistics wants any sane mind to take them seriously, they should get National Population Commission to conduct a tech-based census, capturing names, educational qualification, tribe, religion social status (current income), etc. Someone should stop being in their office and cooking up figures. Many Nigerians know that these figures are fake; what we don't understand is how a grown man would shamelessly cook it up and expect the world to believe it. |

Aren't they using this statistics to deceive you guys... The North got better road network and other amenities than those states that were not mentioned there... They pay the salaries of workers/ indigenes every month unlike some states that were not there; that we usually read owing workers 3-4 months salaries.... so what's the noise about?....The only problem with the Northern state is that some of them gives birth to more than they can care for..If they can get ride of that, they will be perfect.. again they got fertile land, if mechanized system of farming is introduced to most of the states, they will be the richest... |
