Former federal lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani has mocked the
All Progressives Congress-led federal government over a report by the National
Bureau of Statistics, NBS, stating that 133 million Nigerians are
multi-dimensionally poor.
Recall that amid the federal government’s plan to lift 100
million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years, the National Bureau of Statistics
has disclosed that 133 million Nigerians are multi-dimensionally poor.
The NBS said the poverty was due to a lack of access to
health, education, living standards, employment and security. It also indicated
that 65% of poor people— 86 million—live in the North, while 35%—nearly 47
million— live in the South.
However, Senator Sani took to his verified twitter handle to
express how the promise to uplift millions of people from poverty has turned
around in the opposite direction.
He wrote, “They promised to lift one hundred million people
out of poverty; now they have officially thrown one hundred and thirty three
million people into deeper poverty.”
