141 Million Nigerians To Live Below Poverty Line - Shehu Sani
Former Kaduna Central Senator, Shehu Sani, has reacted to the Nigeria Economic Outlook 2026 report, which projects that 141 million Nigerians will live below the poverty line. Sani termed the report 'alarming' and a 'time bomb' that must be addressed to prevent a national social uprising. The report indicates that 62% of the population will be living in poverty by 2026. Sani noted the irony of the situation, given that states and local governments are receiving more money than ever before. Will the government's increased funds be enough to address the looming poverty crisis?
