| dc.description | The need for population education in the country is as pronounced in 1985 as it was in 1983 when the Federal Government endorsed the implementation of the Population Education Programme for Nigeria, in view of the precarious state of the economy, the continuing food deficit situation, the increasing demand on national income for servicing external debts, the ever expanding school population, and the unprecedented rate of unemployment, among other problems, many Nigerians have begun to focus attention on the problems of population in general and family size in particular. | |
