THE GTT PERSPECTIVE

Nigeria

The poverty rate at the national poverty line is very high in Nigeria at

40.1% in 2019 based on data from the 2018-19 Nigeria Living Standards

Survey.

Poverty rates are much higher in rural areas (52.1%) than in urban areas

(18.0%)

One-third of households lack access to safe drinking water &only 56%

of households using improved sanitation

Only 40% of rural households have access to
