The World Bank on Wednesday said despite the economic reforms of the Federal Government, 139 million Nigerians still live in poverty.
The World Bank’s Country Director for Nigeria, Mathew Verghis, stated this at the launch of the Nigeria Development Update (NDU) report in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
Verghis commended the government for taking some steps in stabilising the economy through recent policy reforms.
He, however, warned that more needs to be done to ensure better living standards for Nigerians.
