The number of poor Nigerians is set hit one hundred and one million due to fuel subsidy removal.

This was disclosed by World Bank on Tuesday in Abuja when it released the June 2023 edition of the Nigerian Developments.

It explained that over seven million Nigerians (7.1m) will fall into poverty if the federal government fails to provide compensation or provide palliative care following the removal of fuel subsidy.

At the start of 2023, the world bank disclosed, there were over eighty-nine million (89.8m) poor people in Nigeria, while another four million Nigerians fell into poverty between January and May this year, bringing the number to over ninety-three million ( 93.8m).

The bank, therefore announced that the number of poor people in Nigeria will rise to over one hundred million (100.9m).

It said:

“Consumer price inflation has surged and is currently one of the highest globally, which is related to Nigeria’s fiscal imbalance and points to the urgency of reform efforts. Inflation in Nigeria has been high for many years due to structural factors, but it escalated in 2022, to the point where consumer prices increased at their fastest pace for 17 years.”
