The UK prime minister had described Nigeria as home to the highest number of “very poor people” in the world.
Speaking in Cape Town, South Africa, May said: “Much of Nigeria is thriving, with many individuals enjoying the fruits of a resurgent economy, yet 87 million Nigerians live below $1 and 90 cents a day, making it home to more very poor people than any other nation in the world.”
