Nigeria’s Commitment at the 58th Session of the Commission on Population and Development
With an estimated population of 227.6 million, Nigeria is experiencing one of the fastest population growth rates globally. Kwarra noted that over 70 percent of the population is under 30 years old, necessitating policies that cater to a youthful demographic. This youth bulge represents both a challenge and an opportunity for the nation as it seeks to harness the potential of its young people while promoting their health and well-being across various life stages.
