Population of nigeria

"Life expectancy at birth" is the average number of years that a newborn could expect to live, (the average age of death) while "Healthy life expectancy (HALE) at birth" is the average number of years that a person could expect to live in "full health" from birth. This measurement takes into account years lived in less than full health due to disease and/or injury. * The lack of complete and reliable mortality data, especially for low income countries and particularly on mortality among adults and the elderly, necessitates the application of modelling to estimate life expectancy. This may lead to minor differences compared with official life tables prepared by Member States. Understanding the reasons why people die helps with the understanding of how they lived, in order to improve health services and reduce preventable deaths in every country, responding effectively to changing circumstances. Annual monitoring of causes of death allows countries to address their causes and adapt health systems to react effectively. The leading causes of death are statistical estimates based on available data. These estimates are produced using data from multiple sources, including national vital registration data, latest estimates from WHO technical programmes, United Nations partners and inter-agency groups, as well as the Global Burden of Disease and other scientific studies. Before publishing, they are reviewed by WHO Member States through consultation with national focal points and WH...

Gidado said the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum, NGF, and Governor of Kwara State, Malam Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq has also been consulted on the need for a census exercise this year. Speaking at a breakfast meeting with media executives on the 2023 census in Ilorin on Tuesday, the commissioner, said the huge funds sunk into the census project will not be allowed to go down the drain. Gidado said the NPC fully supported the postponement of the exercise by the previous government of Muhammadu Buhari to allow the new government of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu have an input in the exercise since it is the new government that will receive and accept the documents. He blamed the present problems of the country on the inability to have accurate population data for proper planning and development of the people, adding that “a robust database is very crucial for Nigeria among the comity of nations. ” Over 18,000 ad-hoc staff have been recruited for the conduct of the census exercise in Kwara State.
