NIGERIA is one of the world’s poorest countries. One`fifth of Africa’s population is in Nigeria; two thirds of Nigerians, over 80 million people, live on less than $1 per day. One in five Nigerian children dies before its fifth birthday.
A 2005 study noted the intensity of the poverty in Nigeria thus, “80 to 90 million Nigerians live in poverty; only India and China have more poor people.” India and China each has a population over 1 billion to Nigeria’s 140 million.



Over the period 1980 – 1996, the proportion of poor peoples rose from 28.1 per cent in 1980 to 65.6 per cent  in 1996. This translated to 17.7 million poor people in 1980 and 67.1 million people in 1996.  With government’s on-going reform programmes and poverty reduction strategies, the proportion of poor people is still very high — about 66 per cent of the population which translates to about 90 million poor people. By 2015, it is expected that the economic reform programmes will begin to bear fruits and the population of poor people will reduce to about 40 million people,”African Foundation for Population and Development, noted in a paper.
