Nigeria has been variously described as a country with strong growth potential. Reports indicate that the Nigerian economy has been growing at an average of 6% per year consistently for over 7 years. Yet despite this growth in the gross domestic product (GDP), unemployment, poverty and inequality have continued to expand (UNDP, 2010; FGN, 2010). The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported that the percentage of people living in poverty increased from 27.2% in 1980 to 46.3% in 1985, dropped to 42.7% in 1992 and then increased to 65% in 1996. By 2010, the poverty level was at 69%, indicating that about 112.47 million Nigerians are living below the poverty line (NBS, 2010).
