The National Population Commission (NPC) has stated that it will register 12.72 million children who are less than five years of age in 2023.<\/p>\n

Sunday who was represented by Makama Taala, a principal vital registration officer, said only 57 percent of children under the age of five were registered at birth in 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cForty-three per cent of birth registration is still needed to attain 100 percent birth registration in the country,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said that states with low birth registration are Sokoto, Zamfara, Kebbi, Jigawa, Taraba and Niger.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said Kaduna, Kano, Yobe, Bauchi, Plateau, Nasarawa, Benue and Ogun states are doing better in birth registration.<\/span><\/p>\n
