President Muhammadu Buhari has indicated the willingness of his administration to lift over 100 million Nigerians out of poverty within the next 10 years.
The president made this known in a recent submission to the UN General Assembly on Tuesday.
In his speech, he said;
“Nigeria attaches great importance to poverty eradication.
It is for this reason that in May 2019, on my inauguration for 2nd term in office, our government committed itself to starting a new programme of lifting a 100 million Nigerians out of poverty within a 10-year period.”
