Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation, with over 200 million people. It’s a vibrant country full of entrepreneurial energy and talent, but it’s also a country affected by poverty and disease. Almost 90 million Nigerians live in extreme poverty. Some 4,000 Nigerians die from malaria every week, mainly small children and pregnant women, 31% of the worldwide total. With close to 2 million people living with HIV, Nigeria has the third highest number of HIV-positive people in the world (after South Africa and India), and the country also has the highest number of people with tuberculosis (TB) in Africa.
