In a statement made by the minister at the summit, one of the challenges facing Nigeria in achieving the goal of economic growth is the population of the country.

What do Nigerians say?
This issue has led to disagreements among Nigerians.
Many say that even when it is said that it is a good thing, it is a good thing that will bring the country to the fore, see the vast majority of people living there without having adequate living needs.
While others think this is not a government place.

The number of Nigerian people
Nigeria is the largest African country, with 186 million people.
Research shows that the population in Nigeria has increased steadily, in 1990's decline in the country's population of about 100 million, and 63 percent increase in the population. in 2006, where the population reached 140 million people.
In April 2018 the NPC's National Electoral Commission said that the population of Nigeria was nearly 200 million .
According to the United Nations, Nigeria is the third largest country in the world after China and India, in the middle of the century.
She warns about the challenges that will result from educating and improving health care and employment.
It is now the seventh largest nation in the world.
Despite God's richness in Nigeria, most of his people live on less than one dollar a day, while most of them live in rural areas.
This is why every year people are traveling from villages to larger cities to find life easier.
What community leaders do?
Teachers and leaders of different nations have been discussing how children are born without providing them with what they need to get a better life.
In February 2007, the Emir of Kano Muhammadu II II was dismissed as saying that his cabinet was planning to introduce a law that would prevent the unemployed men from the state .
The emir pointed out that it was a sad thing to see a man "struggling to get drunk today, but he would marry more than one wife.
"He also has many children who can not feed them, clothes them, provide them with adequate environment, and does not give them the kind of education that the community can boast about."
But at that time his own words were a lot of trouble.
In April 2018, in an interview with Hisbah's President of Hisbah State, Sheikh Aminu Ibrahim Daurawa, he was asked as a family-based Islamic system.
The teacher told him: "If you know you're going to have a baby, you will not give him education, you will not miss him, you will not pay attention to him, then you see that you have a little child and you have born them many that are worthless. "
