The National Population Commission (NPC) has put Nigeria’s population at 198 million.
It said urban population was growing at an average yearly rate of about 6.5 percent.
Yet there is no clear cut social security by the states or federal government who can't provide jobs for the people.
NPC Chairman, Mr. Eze Duruiheoma, spoke in New York while delivering Nigeria’s statement on Sustainable Cities, Human Mobility and International Migration at the 51st Session of Commission on Population and Development.
Duruiheoma said: “Nigeria remains the most populous in Africa, the seventh globally with an estimated population of over 198 million.
