Effects Of Poverty In Nigeria

1386 Words6 Pages

The National Bureau of Statistics said 60.9% of Nigerians in 2010 were living in "absolute poverty" - this figure had risen from 54.7% in 2004. (bbc.co.uk 2014). Poverty is a condition in which a person’s basic needs are not being met, these needs being food, shelter and clothing. Poverty is a wide spread problem in Nigeria and it is of most importance to find ways to eradicate it. This condition has been persistent in Nigeria over the years for various reasons, such as poor macro-economic and monetary policies, bad governance and the biggest problem of all corruption. This paper will examine the different ways to eradicate poverty in Nigeria. One of the major problems in Nigeria is poor education. To fix this problem I believe the quality of education should be improved, students should be taught by only properly qualified and dedicated teachers, teachers who enjoy teaching and are not those just doing it because it is a source of income. If this is done from nursery, to primary and through to the secondary level students will have attained basic reading, writing and reasoning skills, and can decide whether to pursue a university education, or other options. For people who do not have the funds, interest or do not possess the required intellectual ability to go to university, certified artisan skills and apprentice programs should be re-introduced teaching carpentry, mechanics and other skills. Students who choose to attend

    On a more serious note, many students complained that between classes and work, there was no time to enjoy the activities available on campus. Additionally, students felt that the administration did not care for them or consider their interests. For example, during an interview about the school with the U.S. News & World Report, one student stated that ‘“They don’t really listen to what we want.

    Student government has played a large role in higher education since the 1700s when it was first established in America (May, 2010, p. 207). But before going into the history of collegiate student governments, it must be defined. Student government is a government that is run by the students, for the students. Although it has many different structures throughout higher education in America, student governments share the common mission of representing the student body as a whole to the administration. There are many reasons as to why student governments are necessary, but some of the most common reasons found are to be the voice of all students and to be a sounding board for the administration when they are trying to find out what students
