The unmet needs of family planning increased drastically during the peak of the COVID-19 lockdown in Nigeria. In Kaduna, experts said the lockdown created a room for shortages in the supply of commodities and a high rate of unintended pregnancy. They also discussed the paucity of funds, which resulted in poor management of family planning in Kaduna.
The Federal Government has been urged to prioritise family planning and close funding gaps in the face of COVID-19 pandemic.

The webinar held on Friday, June 3, 2020, was organised by Premium Times Centre For Investigative Journalism (PTCIJ) in collaboration with Partnership for Advocacy in Child & Family and Development Research (PACFaH) and Development Research Projects Centre (dRPC).
