NBS did not capture the kidnapping and oil bunkering sector, Wike and Udom will sue them for defamation of there state, progress is not all about building infrastructure but must go in hand with empowerment. Most governors that concentrated on roads, check it something is fishie

Because of Amaechi! Chai dereisgodooo!

Oil producing states

Is this really from the Bureau of Statistics?

Yet,these are the states with the highest revenue allocation.

NBS data portraying Akwa ibom as states with highest unemployment rate faulty and I sharp contrast to the reality on ground.

Where are the guys screaming next level in Zamfara...pls come and see get Nigeria working again ooooo...

Did they count those thugs that GovWike is using to terrorise ameachi in Rivers?

How is that even possible?

This doesn’t follow the narrative

But they were raising lout

Despite huge revenue

Those states Governors believe evthing about government is road work & renovation of buildings nothing like good policy to improve private sector to create jobs bcos the Governors can't create wealth

Ikwerre youths don’t like to work even when there are jobs. They’ll rather sell their lands and buy Mercedes.

Thank God it's not Jigawa and Yobe... By now, North or Almajiri has start trending.

Wow south south

kakra68 More money more problems.....

Are these not APC states , someone pls enlighten me.
