In the past poverty has been regarded as a rural phenomenon, in Nigeria, but recent studies have concluded that urban poverty has gown faster than rural poverty, owing largely to the massive migration from rural areas to the citizens, with the incidence of urban poverty almost matching that of rural poverty (World Development Report, 2001).
