Former lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, on Monday, lamented that Nigeria’s myriad problems are man-made.

Sani expressed regrets that despite the huge amount of money from the Paris refund shared by state governors, 133 million Nigerians now live below the poverty line.

He stated this in a post via his verified Twitter handle on Monday.

Quoting the World Food Programme, Sani noted that about 4.3 million people in the North East face severe hunger and malnutrition.

He said, “In eight years, $5.4 billion Paris refund was shared to states governors; 133 million people now live below the poverty line and 4.3 million people in the North East face severe hunger and malnutrition according to WFP figures. Our problems are man-made.”
