Abed Chidi Onyeyiri, Owerri, 07082623: A report recently released by the United Nations shows that over 80 million Nigerians are still living in extreme poverty. This, therefore, implies that one-third of the country’s population is languishing in abject poverty. At this juncture, I call on the Muhammadu Buhari administration to declare a state of emergency and address the poverty index. All rights reserved.
