Levels and Trends in Infant and Child Mortality among some Kanuri of North-east Nigeria

E. O. Udjo, MSc, PhD

Department of Sociology, University of Maiduguri Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria

Information on infant and child mortality levels in Nigeria is poor and fragmentary due to the absence of reliable sources of demographic data at the national level. This study is an attempt to provide some information on the subject relating to some Kanuri of north-east Nigeria using data obtained from a single round retrospective survey. Direct and indirect methods of analysis of the Kanuri data point to modest infant and child mortality levels by African standard with little improvement over the years.
