World Bank vice president Mr Moukhtar Diop has revealed that, poverty level in Nigeria has dropped from 48% to 46% under president Goodluck Jonathan. 
The question we ask is, do you agree with his figures?

While asserting that Nigeria’s GDP growth rate of eight per cent is not sufficient to reduce poverty in the country Diop said the Nigerian government can further reduce poverty in the country by tackling the problem of inadequate electricity supply.e on-going privatization of the sector. He added that, Nigeria is now one of the fastest growing emerging economies in the world inspite of the current global recession.
