Hardship: Mothers, Daughters, Pupils Queueing Up for Family Planing 

Idibia Gabriel Kaduna 

Apparently owing to increase in the severity of hardship currently being faced in the country, parents especially mothers have began queue up on self and voluntary family planning, their daughters and single ladies in kaduna primary healthcare centres, with desperation to have it.

This is against the past history, when mothers and young ladies openly rejected family planning programs targeted at them for birth control by health related agencies, CSOs and NGOs to avoid bearing children without enough resources to train.

Our Correspondent reported that even female Students and Pupils of post primary and primary schools are not left out of the development, as many of them were found queuing up openly for self and voluntary family planning at primary health facilities across the state, majorly in kaduna South to prevent unwanted pregnancy.

Findings revealed that while some mothers, daughters and single ladies are taken plannings for months, some are reportedly taken for a year and above at government primary health facility located under bridge in Sabon Tasha in kaduna South in particular.

An expert and a Medical Doctor who pleaded anonymity confirmed the information, adding that women and girls are trying to avoid unwanted pregnancy, while both men and women are afraid of given birth due hardship.

Accordingly, he also revealed that the young people are also afraid to even marry for lacks of resources to take care of family responsibilities under the current economic downturn.

Most of the patients approached for comment declined outrightly, a woman who spoke to our reporter in confidence however said that her husband is fully in support of the family planning after God blessed their family with four healthy children.

Further investigation uncovered that the turn out has never been so encouraging and openly like now since inception to family planning health system began in Nigeria appealing to government to provide support by ensuring supply and availability of the commodity at affordable rate.
