Nigeria, with its current demographics and without intervention, is set to double its population of 150 million people in 22 years.The governmenfs population and health policies recognize family planning as a key intervention.However, unacceptably high unmet need for contraception exists in the country, which may indicate a lack of commitment for family planning.The 2008 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey report shows that knowledge of any contraceptive method is widespread in Nigeria.Despite this knowledge, contraceptive prevalence is 15%.Knowledge of and actual use of contraceptives vary between states in the country and are influenced by socio-demographic factors.For family planning to move forward in Nigeria a joint effort is needed, with the government taking a leadership role in promoting the use of family planning and ensuring that stakeholders take individual responsibilities seriously.For family planning to move forward in Nigeria a joint effort is needed and individual responsibilities must be taken seriously.This calls for healthcare practitioners to provide user-friendly services, community support being available to improve womens quality of life, and the government to provide free family planning at all levels by investing national funds for commodity procurement and logistics rather than depending on donors.Social change, which family planning entails, is a call for the redefinition of family and social values.This requires time, and the speed with which this can happen is dependent on individuals and the commitment of the government.Educating girls to at least completion of secondary school, but ideally beyond, is probably the most important long-term strategy, not only for reducing maternal mortality and improving the reproductive health of women, but also for speeding up national development.
