As Nigeria joined the rest of the world to commemorate the year 2017 World Population Day, The Founder-President of Wellbeing Foundation, Mrs. Toyin Saraki and other stakeholders have called for Increase in the budget allocation for Family Planning by government at all levels.

She explained that: “Family planning information and contraception is a fundamental human right, empowering women to decide when and where to have a child, and how many children they wish to bear, according to their circumstances, we recommend that mothers space their childbirth by 1000 days, to better sustain the health and socio-economic well-being of mother, child and family.”

However to provide family planning services, governments have therefore been urged to increase funding for Family Planning and ensure increase in budgetary allocations for FP/CBS in the state to cover consumables, supplies and infrastructure, commodity , logistics, management, training of skilled providers and demand creation.

Nigeria’s population is expected to surpass that of the U.S. by 2050, according to new UN projections that predict the West African country could be the world’s third most populous by the end of this century.

The 2013 NDHS results indicate that on average Nigerian women give birth to 5.5 children by end of their childbearing years, meanwhile the goal of the National Policy on Population for SDG is to achieve a reduction in the total fertility rate of at least 0.6 children every five years (National Population Commission, 2004).

But having more than two kids doesn't mean you aren't practicing Family Planning. Kindly check what Family Planning fully entails and you will grasp the meaning beyond having more than two kids.

Family Planning is the process of cutting down over procreation.
