This is a policy brief, and hence it represents the synthesis of a reflection. The messages delivered in this brief can be useful in decision making, sustaining the debates, moving ideas forward. The study findings show that Nigeria’s adult literacy rate(51%), an indicator of education among others performance indicators is the lowest when compared with Libya (89.5%), Egypt (73.9%), Angola (72.6%), and Angola (70.4%) within the period under study. The study further shows that recent figures from the UNDP Human Development Report indicate that infant mortality, a health performance indicator among others in Nigeria is 114 per 1000 live births for the male child and 174 per 1000 live births for the female child. The findings reveal that Nigeria has the highest infant mortality rate compared to the comparator countries.
