Poorest states in Nigeria But the reverse is the case as some states are down to poverty by 70 percent. However, these poor states in Nigeria became poor due to bad governance, mismanagement of state resources or security issues as the case may be.
We have listed the poorest states in the country according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics, using infrastructural development, state of economy, literacy level, security and governance to compile this list of 10 poorest states in Nigeria this 2018.
Top Ten (10) Poorest States in Nigeria 2019:-
1. Sokoto
Sokoto state is rated as the poorest state in Nigeria, ranking 81.2% on poverty level. Its harsh climate conditions has made its a no go area and has prevented foreigners and foreign investors to come for investment in the state. It is also the seat of the Caliphate.
2. Kastina
Located at the deepest part of the north western area of Nigeria, Kastina state made it in the list of poorest states in Nigeria because it has fewer or no solid investment or sector that generates revenue for the state.

What were the factors considered that may have brought about this conclusion? It’s clear that this isn’t correct, especially when you see no state from the south. If the statistics was properly taken I’m sure states from the south would have been on the list.

This rogue of statistics to make North looks poor while they dominate even oil rigs and wells ownership. To fool the South. We are wiser now. Every state in Nigeria is poor. What of Osun, Ekiti, Oyo even Ondo? Where indigenes are living in poverty of infrastructures and food. That is why buying votes is easy here. Poverty deyoooo

Reply
This is not a good analysis, almost 60% of Nigerian States are suffering from poverty due to mismanagement of funds and embezzlements. We’re also suffering in Ogun State due to border closure and Stoppage or forestry.
