The Advocacy Advisor of Nigeria Urban Reproductive Health Initiative (NURHI), Mrs. Charity Ibeawuchi has decried the poor attention paid to family planning issues in Nigeria, stating that this had accounted for high cases of maternal mortality as well as increase in birth of unwanted children.
She made the statement during a five-day training workshop for family planning budgeting in Ibadan, Oyo State.
Emphasising the need for governments at all levels to embark on proper budgeting on family planning and reproductive health issues, Mrs. Ibeawuchi added that NURHI’s objective was to achieve reduction in maternal mortality and boost the health of mothers and children by encouraging couples to space pregnancies and birth so as to phase out preventable tragedies relating to child birth and for the well-being of the family.
