Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, has denied media reports claiming she said that the Federal government is working on a policy that would limit the number of children that a mother could have in Nigeria.

Media reports claimed that Ahmed disclosed this while responding to questions during a session at the 24th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja on Monday October 22nd. The reports claimed Ahmed noted that the country’s population had been identified as one of the great challenges confronting the successful implementation of the ERGP and so the Federal government was working on policy to tackle over population.

However, while speaking to state house correspondents after the Federal Executive Council meeting yesterday October 24th, Ahmed denied ever saying such.

“When did I say this? What I said was we have a demographic situation where pop growth > Econ growth; we must engage traditional & religious leaders to educate families to have the number of children they can care for.” she told newsmen.

We don't have problem here in south ,we give birth's to the numbers of kids we can raise well,

Kudos to northern elders for using Boko boys & Fulani to reduce there population in north, they are the source of problem we have in Nigeria today

Another 4 years of Buhari will reduce the northern population very well

Government of Denials denying everything including the existence of Nigeria.

When this b.i.t.c..h made the statement yesterday, didn't she know that she shook the table that had her people (northerners) standing on it?

Buhari won't even approve it. That will limit the number of children being given birth to in the North (which they are using to cheat the whole country).

Also MURIC will see it as going against Islam since they can marry and fuckkkk up to four women, and they all have to give birth to as much children.

This government can even deny being voted into power

Government of fraud, lies, deceit, forgery, blackmail, slander, technicalities, Fulaniism, negativity...

I don't even know what to say.
we have enough resources but mismanagement has made them insufficient for the populace.

I would have supported this if we had no resource at all

All will be well

Mtcheeew, what do you expect from bunch of incompetent people.

The FG will always deny.
This brings me to my grouse with southerners who now think having only two kids is the new cool.

I've met several Nigerian ladies of Southern descent who said they'd be stopping at two kids.
Most of them blame it on the economy and argue that Barrack Obama has two while Clinton has just one.
But they've never asked themselves how many King Solomon had.

It's sad that we keep shortchanging ourselves.
The average Northerner has at least three wives and each of his three wives gives him at least 4 children.

Then one foolish woman will say because of her career and the economy she won't have more than two kids.
That's bullcrap.

Any husband that supports his wife's foolish choice is worse than a buffoon.
The reason hospitals insist on the husband being present when giving Implanons is to take a look at the mumu who is mortgaging his future.

Four kids is the ideal number, anything less than this is tantamount to self-shortchanging

Any person who thinks two or three kids is the new cool is simply a fool.
Because if my wise parents decided to stop at 7kids, Mama Ramotu would never have met me today.

The Minister of Finance, Zainab Ahmed, who disclosed this while responding to questions during a session at the 24th Nigerian Economic Summit in Abuja, noted that the country’s population had been identified as one of the great challenges confronting the successful implementation of the ERGP.


Ahmed 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.”

Another volte face ...

not interested...

denial everywhere around this government

Talk and deny government

APC=All promises cancel

If truly the FG plans to control over population by birth limitation, then Bubu and other aboki politicians are on the losing end..

It's mostly those little little urchins running around that they use in getting their 5 million votes.. The policy won't even last

Birth control is definitely going to be the best thing to happen to this country...
imagine having kids you can't take care of and blaming the government for your misfortunes... England with all her years of existence are a lil above 70 million people.. America is just around 300 million..while Nigeria don near 200 million now now...them too like fork for this country abeg

Our population growth is scary

I think it's time to negotiate this

No jobs.. No nothing..

Why denying a good motive?

Hunger de and we too plenty for the little food

Why can't a policy that could be helpful
