Current contraceptive prevalent rate in Nigeria
2008 14.6% 2009 11.0% 2010 13.0% 2012 10.0% Fertility rate in Nigeria is 5.6 UNFPA(2012)
Life expectancy in Nigeria is 47.2years at birth
Maternal mortality ratio (600 ->800) in the last decade.
Globally 13% of maternal death are due to unsafe abortion (WHO 2011)
Infant mortality rate – 88 in every 1000 births. (UNICEF, WB Indices 2012)

Contraception can reduce maternal death by 44%(Cleland J, Peterson H. 2012)

6months 7.4% at 12months) Withdrawal method(5-25% FR) not in
premature ejaculation Post coital douche
Barrier methods Male condom (10-30% FR first year) Female condom(15% FR) Vaginal diaphragm(7%) Cervical cap Spermicides(Vaginal jellies, creams, sponge,
gels, suppositories and foam nonoxynol-9, active for about 2hours).
10-30%FR
Male Condoms
