Shehu Sani, a former lawmaker, has lamented the large number of people living in abject poverty in Nigeria.
Sani stated on Twitter on Monday that the country’s numerous problems are man-made.
He claimed that despite the large sums shared by state governors from the Paris Club refund, 133 million people now live below the poverty line.
He stated that the World Food Programme, WFP, estimated that approximately 4.3 million people in the North East suffer from acute hunger and malnutrition.
In eight years, $5.4 billion Paris refund was shared to states governors; 133 million people now live below the poverty line and 4.3 million people in the North East face severe hunger and malnutrition according to WFP figures. Our problems are man-made, Sani said.
