STORY......ALLOCATION SHARING IS REASON NOT FERTILITY.... According to a survey – Resources for the Awareness of Population Impacts on Development (RAPID) – presented at the last National Family Planning Conference held in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory, in 1963, both Nigeria and Britain had the same population size of 56 million. By 2011 however, Nigeria’s population stood at 167 million and Britain’s, 62 million. Between 1963 and 2011 (48 years), Nigeria’s population tripled and with sustained fertility of 5.7 and the growth rate of three per cent, its population could double in less than 24 years.
