‘States focus on unnecessary infrastructure’ — FG blames governors for high poverty rate | TheCable

Wasilat AzeezThe federal government has blamed state governors for the high rate of poverty in the country.

Agba said 72 percent of Nigeria’s poor citizens are found in the rural areas which have been abandoned by the governors.He said governors prefer to function in the state capitals rather than build roads that will aid farmers in the rural communities to easily take their farm produce to the city. “Right now, 70 percent of our people live in rural areas. They produce 90 percent of what we eat and unfortunately 60 percent of what they produce does not get to the market due to post-harvest losses.

“Or governors now competing to build flyovers all over the place and we applaud them, they should concentrate on building rural roads so that the farmer can at least get their products to the market.
