Nigeria child multidimensional poverty; percent of children / % of the poor, 2022.
About 67.5% of Nigerian children aged 0–17 were multidimensionally poor in 2022. The measure comes from the national multidimensional-poverty index. It applies to children as an age-group population, not to all Nigerians. The page reports the official incidence rate without converting it into an unsupported child count.
