Abstract:

Education and poverty are two of the most pressing issues affecting Nigeria. In southern Nigeria where poverty is severe, there are lack of access to health care and education, but most critically, there is a lack of sufficient food to feed their families. These issues are primarily experienced in African countries. In Africa, there are large numbers of poor people who are unrepresented in economic and political decisions. Education is a critical issue for long-term growth as well as peace and stability within nations. Nigerian government should make sure and ensure that every citizen has access to basic education and health facilities. Education provides possibilities for learning knowledge and skills that will genuinely assist in developing the Country. This is why the United Nations Millennium Development Goals' emphasis on achieving universal primary education. The goal is make sure that the majority of the population has at least finished secondary education Education is crucial to Nigerian as it wil help to reduce crime rate. The government must acknowledge that education is critical to the development of poorer region, particularly the Northern States where there is abject poverty. Poverty in some Nigerian state is one of the most important challenges and pressures preventing the success of education, because most people choose going to the farm in other to survive from hunger and some of them cannot afford the tuition fee and this leads to high rate of illiteracy, but if atleast the government will make available basic education and also granting scholarship to some intelligent students into higher institution, then it will serve as a motivation, then illiteracy at some level will be minimized. It will also be good that girls should be given equal opportunity as boys in education and government should empower parents as well.
