Summary

Introduction

As a result of the current population of Nigeria, this is 187, 754, and 280 as of Friday September 2, 2016 based on the latest United Nations estimates. In order to curb the population increase, efforts have been made by both the federal government of Nigeria and World International Organization (WHO), United Nations International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF), planned Parenthood Federation Association (PPFA) to increase awareness, attitude and practice of family planning among all reproductive age groups including adolescents. This increase in attitude, knowledge and practice among the women of child bearing age (15-45) is yet to be effective among the women in the rural areas of most developing countries where majority of the population live (Adeleye et al 2010)
