Senator Ben Murray-Bruce has said the only way of tackling poverty in Nigeria is by creating more access to learning.
As stated by the Bayelsa East lawmaker, the more the poor learn, the better the income they can earn.
Murray-Bruce noted that many poor people would have fewer children and live healthier if they are earning more.
In a tweet, he noted that the “fastest way to defeat poverty is by educating the poor. The more the poor learn, the more the poor earn. The more the poor earn, the less children they have, the longer they live and the healthier they are. Education has multiplier effects. It is a gift that keeps on giving.
