The President of the World Bank Group, Mr. David Malpass, on Wednesday said the multilateral institution is focused on supporting the federal government’s bid to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty.
Malpass said during a media briefing at the ongoing virtual World Bank/International Monetary Fund (IMF) spring meetings in Washington DC that the World Bank would do so by supporting the government in its efforts to promote growth, job creation and shared prosperity.
According to him, as part of the efforts, the World Bank-supported Nigeria in ensuring fiscal and debt sustainability, including enhancing debt transparency and debt management at the federal and sub-national levels.
President Muhammadu Buhari had said his administration planned to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty over the next decade.
The president said his government would be tackling social inequality and entrenching better standards of living for the people.
