Abstract
Islamic world cannot close its eyes on the topically global family planning debates. That is, the practice of the modern family planning owing to the potential of maintaining family size within the family’s financial competence. Reports have come from various quarters alleging negative perceptions by the Northern Nigerian Muslim on the family planning practice. This study thus empirically assesses the perception of the Muslims in North-Central region of Nigeria on the modern family planning practices. The study adopts mixed methods of doctrinal and non-doctrinal to gather information which were analysed accordingly. The study finds that the Muslims in the North-Central region of Nigeria had positive perceptions of the modern family planning practices. The study however finds that there was abysmally low practice of the modern family planning in the region of the country. This suggests that there is practice of multitude procreation in this part of the country despite the unfriendly economic hardship being experienced. The study recommends strategic sensitization by the relevant stakeholders in the country.
