Lol!this is hilarious, who advised him to do such.politician's keep coming up with surprises every day.
Going by Governor Shettima’s example, poverty is
not only alleviated by building infrastructures,
creating employment, ensuring citizenry’s welfare,
and other similar nation building activities.
Apparently, poverty can be somewhat reduced by
“just sharing money to people”.
The President of the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim,
once said, “To end extreme poverty, the vast
numbers of the poorest – those earning less than
$1.25 a day – will have to decrease by 50 million
people each year until 2030.”
Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno state is
certainly contributing his quota into ensuring that
the number of poor people in Nigeria decreases,
as he was recently photographed sharing money
to children who were more than eager to recieve.
According to the apex bank’s ‘world poverty
index’, Nigeria is ranked third among the
countries that has the largest number of poor
people, accounting for 7% of the world’s poorest.
Scenes like this only serves as justification for
such statistics.
