FG To Limit Number Of Children Per Mother – Minister of finance

The Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed has revealed that the Federal Government is working hard to introduce a policy that would limit the number of children than woman can bear in Nigeria.

She said: “We have been engaging traditional rulers and other leaders. Specifically, we have found out that to be able to address one of the great challenges that we identified in the ERGP, which is the growth in our population, we need to engage these institutions.

And we hope that with their support, we will get to a point where we can come out with the policy that limits the number of children that a mother can have because that is important for sustaining our growth.”

When asked about the sustainability of the ERGP by successive governments, Ahmed argued that the plan would be sustained as it was purely a document that focused on the development of the Nigerian economy.
