The federal
government on Friday, published the full list of 11 million “poor and
vulnerable” Nigerians by states.
According to the
National Social Safety Nets Coordinating Office (NASSCO), the number cuts
across 2.6 million households.
Zamfara State has
the highest number with 1.34million people across 290,000 households
Sokoto State is the
least with 18,435 across 3,347 households.
The South-East has
the lowest number of vulnerable Nigerians with 383,316 among all the regions.
NASSCO, however, did
not include Ebonyi and Ogun States on the list, because the states are still in
the process of building their social register.
The agency said the
register for poor and vulnerable Nigerians is built through a “rigorous,
transparent community based targeting process undertaken by states and
validated by NASSCO.”
