A large proportion of Nigerians without formal education are living in poverty, with the World Bank reporting that nearly 83 per cent of the country’s uneducated population falls into the category.
The figures highlight the relationship between educational attainment and economic well-being in Nigeria, where limited access to schooling can reduce people’s chances of securing stable employment and earning sufficient income.
People without formal education often face difficulties accessing jobs that require specialised skills or academic qualifications. This can leave many dependent on low-paying informal activities, making it harder to meet basic needs amid rising living costs.
The findings also draw attention to the challenges facing Nigeria’s efforts to reduce poverty, particularly among households with limited educational opportunities. Access to quality education and vocational training remains important in equipping citizens with skills that can improve their economic prospects.
Improving educational access, strengthening skills development and expanding employment opportunities could help more Nigerians move away from poverty, especially in communities where schooling remains difficult to obtain.
The report underscores the importance of addressing educational disadvantages as part of broader efforts to improve living standards and promote inclusive economic growth across the country.
