The FG is considering a birth control policy where the number of
children per woman is to be pegged at two to check the prevalent poverty
and unemployment in the country.
Minister of Finance, Mrs. Zainab Ahmed, who disclosed this,
yesterday, noted that the move was in realisation of the dangers posed
by uncontrolled population growth.
She said government was consulting religious and traditional leaders
nationwide on the issue after which a policy would be formulated.
“We must find out ways to engage our youths to be active and ensure
that transportation is effective, available and reasonably priced,” the
minister stated.
