According to reports received today, it was stated that Nigeria’s population is expected to surpass that of China by 2100, a new study suggests.
China, which is currently the most populous nation in the world, is expected to peak at 1.4 billion in four years time before nearly halving to 732 million by 2100 while India will become the world’s most populous nation.
The study predicts that within the same period, Nigeria’s population will hit 791 million, making it the second-largest country in the world.
The research which was conducted by the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation states that the general population of the world will drop due to a reduction in fertility rates.
