According to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), “in terms of the proportion of poverty and its intensity, the poorest states included Sokoto, Bayelsa, Jigawa, Kebbi, Gombe, and Yobe.“
The multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) survey report released yesterday measured deprivations related to education, health, living standard, work, and security showing Abia State among the top 5 best states in Nigeria.
According to a report in Punch newspaper on 18th November, 2022.

“The NBS report further showed Sokoto, Bayelsa, Gombe, Jigawa, and Plateau are the top poorest states in 2022.
“Sokoto leads the poorest with 90.5 percent of people in the state poor. It is followed by Bayelsa with 88.5 percent poor people, Gombe with 86.2 percent, Jigawa with 84.3 percent, and Plateau with 84 percent.
The least poor states are Ondo with 27.2 percent poor people, Lagos with 29.4 percent, Abia 29.8 percent, Edo with 31 percent, and Anambra with 32.1 percent.”
What that means is that an independent body has confirmed that Governor Okezie Ikpeazu has fulfilled his 2015 promise of delivering a better life to the people of the state. This sacrosanct fact has given a lie to the propaganda noise by Abia opposition elements.
You can do propaganda as much as you like but you can’t hide self-evident facts forever.
