Figures: Nigeria Population 1960-2016

Today's a Sunday. So, I simply decided to look at, and bring to your attention, what other organizations have done about Nigeria's population matters. 

According to the  <tradingeconomics> data on Nigeria 1960-2017, the nation's total population was estimated at 186.0 million people in 2016, based on the immediate past census figures. Their posture was informed by reflecting on the period of 1960 when Nigeria had a population of 45.1 million people. 

Tradingeconomics posited that the population of Nigeria represents 2.35 percent of the world´s total population which arguably means that one person in every 43 people on the planet is a resident of Nigeria. 

Thus, the agency provided the latest reported value for Nigeria's population looking at previous releases, historical high and low, short-term forecast and long-term prediction, economic calendar, survey consensus and news, plus -actual data, historical chart and calendar of releases all updated on August of 2017. 

The summary of the above data is also indicated below:
