Nigeria among poorest countries world 80m living poverty line un report

I think there may be some misinformation here. According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) 2020 report, Nigeria is not among the poorest countries in the world. While it is true that Nigeria has a significant number of people living below the poverty line, the country's poverty rate has been declining in recent years.

According to the UNDP report, Nigeria's poverty rate has decreased from 64.2% in 2010 to 40.1% in 2020. This means that while still a significant number of people in Nigeria live below the poverty line, the country has made progress in reducing poverty over the past decade.

It's also important to note that the poverty line is a relative concept and can vary depending on the country and the criteria used to define it. The World Bank defines extreme poverty as living on less than $1.90 a day, while the UN defines moderate poverty as living on less than $3.20 a day.

According to the World Bank, in 2020, Nigeria had a population of approximately 202 million people, and about 40% of them lived on less than $3.20 a day, which is considered moderate poverty. However, this is still a significant number, and the country continues to face challenges in reducing poverty and improving the living standards of its citizens.

It's worth noting that the UN report also highlights that Nigeria has made significant progress in other areas, such as reducing child mortality rates, increasing access to education, and improving healthcare outcomes.

In summary, while Nigeria still has a significant number of people living below the poverty line, the country is not among the poorest in the world, and it has made progress in reducing poverty over the past decade.
