Former President Muhammadu Buhari about four years ago promised to lift 100 million Nigerians out of poverty in 10 years, translating that 10 million Nigerians would be taken out of the scourge every year. By the end of Buhari’s second tenure in office about 80 million Nigerians according to this estimate would have exited absolute material deprivation
The strategy of a road map to the end of poverty should consist essentially in rural revitalisation which should aim at re-energising the rural economy. Modest infrastructure connectivity focusing on feeder roads within and across communities in the country will boost trade and enhance rural productivity. Once people can earn money through trade within and across communities, the local economy will incrementally integrate to the national value chain triggering the growth of the rural sub-sector.
To further enhance revitalisation as a strategy to end poverty, basic facilities such as primary health care centres, water supply and access to schools should be guaranteed. To sustain the momentum of the strategy to end poverty, an inter-party consultative mechanism to enhance national consensus should be initiated to generate a broad-based framework for coordination and supervision of the anti-poverty road map.
