It's no longer news that when it comes to human capital development indexes, Nigeria ranks very low. This reality was underscored on Democracy Day when Mr. Peter Obi, the Labour Party's presidential candidate in the 2023 general elections, lamented the country's hunger index ranking, highlighting Nigeria's struggles with food insecurity and poverty.
According to Mr. Obi, Nigeria ranks 109th out of 125 countries measured on the Global Hunger Index.
