Map 2.6: Map of the Niger Delta Region Showing the Spatial Correspondence Between Oil Facilities and Life Expectancy Index Map 2.7: Map of the Niger Delta Region Showing the Spatial Correspondence Between Ecology and Educational Index NIGER DELTA HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 65
Map 2.8: Map of the Niger Delta Region Showing the Spatial Correspondence Between Oil Facilities and Educational Index The medium HPI-1 score for six of the eight local government areas in Bayelsa State shows that benefits derived from oil have not transformed people’s lives. Yenagoa and Brass, the state’s most developed areas, have high incidences of poverty. The HPI-1 for Local Government Areas The best performing local government area on the HPI-1 is Oshimili North in Delta State at 15.794 per cent, while the worst performing is Odigbo in Ondo State at 33.722 per cent. Considering that the national HPI-1 is 38.8 per cent, this would mean that even the worst performing locality in the Niger Delta has surpassed the national average. But the best score is still worse than the 11.4 per cent score for Mauritius, the top country on the HPI-1 in sub-Saharan Africa. HPI-1 performances vary widely across the region. Delta State has the lowest level of disparity, while Edo State has the widest variation. Against the regional average of 32.065 per cent, five states (Delta, Rivers, Bayelsa, Imo and Ondo) rank better, while four states (Cross River, Abia, Akwa Ibom and Edo) rank worse (table 2.14). There are relatively few localities that perform well on the HPI-1 in both the dry and swamp land areas (map 2.9). Most of the better-off areas are in Edo and Delta states (table 2.15). In the swamp land zone, it is difficult to locate any locality with a low level of poverty. Across the Niger Delta region, only 31 local government areas, or 20 per cent of the total, have low poverty levels. Those with low HPI-1 scores also have high or medium scores on the HDI, which is as it should be. Some rated high on the HDI, such as Burutu, Warri North and Warri South-West, only have medium HPI-1 scores, which further buttresses the fact that poverty levels can be high even in the midst of oil wealth. 66 NIGER DELTA HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT
