Population Growth: Challenges and Opportunities on World Population Day

As the world marks World Population Day today, a day designated by the United Nations to raise awareness about the issues related to the global population. The theme for this year’s celebration focuses on the importance of investing in reproductive health and family planning to achieve sustainable development.

As the global population continues to grow, reaching over 8 billion people, the challenges associated with population growth, such as poverty, inequality, and environmental degradation, become more pressing.

In Nigeria, where population growth is rapid, the government and stakeholders have been called on to address the challenges associated with a growing population. Investing in reproductive health and family planning is crucial to achieving sustainable development and improving the quality of life for Nigerians.
