It is in this direction that this research examines the nature of family planning. It highlights Christian views towards contraceptive use among the people of Nigeria. The research also aims at picturing how poor family planning can ruin development via population explosion. It finally yearns to identify and suggest family planning types that can be adopted for a proper method of population control to enhance sustainable development in Nigeria.
