Nigeria in 2025

In 2025, Nigeria had a total population of 237,527,782 people. That is 24.6% more than in 2015, when the population stood at 190,671,878. The median age was 19.2 years, and for every 100 people of working age (15–64) there were 71.8 children under 15 and 5.4 people aged 65 or over. This is an expansive pyramid — each cohort of children is larger than the one above it, the signature of high birth rates and rapid growth.
