World Population Day is an annual event with the aim of raising awareness about the growing global population and the challenges it brings forth, including gender inequality, poverty, maternal health, and human rights. This observance not only emphasizes the need for family planning, but also highlights the essential role governments and organizations must play in addressing these critical issues. By engaging in discussions and educating people on sustainable development, World Population Day encourages collective action that can lead to improved conditions for all. The origin of World Population Day can be traced back to 1987, when the global population reached the milestone of 5 billion people. Recognizing the potential social, economic, and environmental impacts of overpopulation, the United Nations General Assembly established this day to focus worldwide attention on the problem. With a population of over 206 million people and projections of becoming the world's third most populous country by 2050, Nigeria faces significant challenges, including a high rate of unemployment, poor public infrastructure, and an increased demand for adequate health care, education, and housing services. In Nigeria, World Population Day is observed through a range of activities, such as educational outreach, seminars, workshops, and public campaigns to increase awareness on the importance of family planning. Government institutions and non-governmental organizations often organize events that highlight the significance of sustainable population growth and the well-being of individuals, especially women and girls. World Population Day is observed annually on July 11th. By participating World Population Day, Nigerians play a crucial role in addressing the challenges posed by a growing population and fostering a better future for generations to come.
