The presidency has described as false and suspicious <\/var> the recent report by the African Development Bank (AfDB) on Nigeria\u2019s poverty reduction efforts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Dr Reuben Abati, said that the report was \u201cdevoid of truth and political\u2019\u2019.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to Abati, the AfDB\u2019s report came barely a month after the UN gave an award to Nigeria for its efforts at reducing poverty significantly in the country while the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO), a UN body, at its 38th Session in Rome in late June gave an award to Nigeria as one of the nations that made significant progress in reducing hunger.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Abati said that such a negative report from the AfDB some weeks after the FAO award was \u201csuspicious and laced with falsehood and political\u2019\u2019.<\/div>\n
