South East Safest Zone To Live In Nigeria - UN

 

Barely a day after the WHO declared Onitsha as the most polluted city in the world (click here), a report compiled by the United Nations has declared the South East geopolitcal zone as the safest place to live in the country.

In the words of Ojijo Odhiambo, the economic adviser of UNDP Nigeria:

“The report further highlights the existing gap in human security across the geopolitical zones of the country; – the most human security secure geopolitical zone is the South-East while the North-West and the North-East geopolitical zones are the least human security secured, with residents of the Federal Capital Territory being the worst in most realms of the Human Security Index.

“The North-East region of the country has been the most affected by the more than five-yearlong military insurgency. It also remains among the least developed parts of the country.”
