In 1963 neither the Nigerian Society of Health nor anyone in the power structure of Nigeria would publicly endorse family planning. By early 1968 a family planning day was declared where it was proclaimed that the quality of the people was important not the quantity. However Nigeria still does not have a family planning program that reaches a large percentage of the women at risk. The first phase is a quiet beginning, the second is the achievement of acceptance, the third is to train teachers, and the fourth phase is the establishment of maternal-child care services. This last phase may incorporate the family planning services. Is hoped that this will lead to a more favorable attitude toward family planning.
