The disastrous effects of these are the inherent high unemployment rate, inadequate health facilities, housing deficits, high crime rate, social conflicts, high cost of living, to mention a few.Many countries such as China and India have employed drastic measures to control their population, including sterilisation and limiting by law the number of children and other incentives. While these may not work in Nigeria’s situation, something must be done in the area of family planning.
Yet, it is estimated that some 120 million women who do not wish to become pregnant are not currently using contraception. By providing all women and men of reproductive age with a choice of contraceptive methods and counselling about how to use those methods safely and effectively, family planning programmes can have a significant impact on the lives of their clients.
Nigeria should consider the option adopted by China which limited the number of children a family may have to one, which is worth exploring. Analysts say they see nothing wrong in government directly limiting, by legislation, the number of children couples may have to two or three.
