World Bank Report Highlights Nigeria's Persistent Poverty Issue

The World Bank's report on Nigeria's poverty crisis emphasizes the challenges faced by the country, with over 139 million Nigerians living in poverty. The report commends the government's economic reforms but warns that they have not yet translated into tangible improvements for the people.

President's administration has been criticized for dismissing the report as unrealistic. The latest statistics from the NBS reveal that 63% of the population is living in multidimensional poverty, highlighting the urgent need for further action to address the issue.
