South South, North East Have Nigeria’s Highest Rates Of Abortions – Report by Ptimes: 11:53am On Nov 06, 2015
Incidences of induced abortions are more prevalent in the South-South and the North-East regions of Nigeria, a new report says.

The study, conducted by US-based Guttmacher Institute, and Ipas, a nongovernmental organisation that focuses on female reproductive rights, puts the South-South in the lead, and the South West at the bottom.

The report shows that besides insurgency, the North East region of Nigeria is also plagued by a high rate of abortions – second only to the South-South.

“The proportion of abortions is lowest in South West, at 11 per cent, and highest in the South-South at 17 per cent, and 16 per cent in the North East,” the report says.

It adds that at least 1. 2 million induced abortions take place in various parts of Nigeria every year.

Olutosin Owolude, a consultant lecturer are the department of gynaecology at the University of Ibadan, who presented the report Thursday in Abuja, said increased rates of abortions, done mostly through unsafe methods, have further heightened maternal mortality in the country.

“As we all know, Nigeria has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, presently put at 560 per 1000 births,” he said.
