Poverty in Nigeria: Is It Systemic or Just Bad Luck?

Подробнее о видео

With 133 million Nigerians living in multidimensional poverty, the nation faces a staggering 63% of its population enduring severe deprivations in health, education, and living standards. Despite being one of Africa’s largest economies, Nigeria remains one of the world’s top nations for extreme poverty. But why is this happening? Is poverty a result of bad luck, or is it a reflection of systemic failures? We take to the streets to hear the voices of ordinary Nigerians and engage Dr. Andrew Mamedu, Country Director of ActionAid Nigeria, to explore why decades of poverty eradication programmes have failed. Together, we tackle Nigeria's fight against inequality, the structural issues that perpetuate poverty, and the urgent need for political will and accountability. With inflation hitting record highs and millions slipping deeper into poverty, is there hope for a brighter future for the next generation?
Don’t miss out—watch now for an in-depth discussion on inequality and the future of Nigeria’s youth.
