Nigeria Population Pyramid 2054
Nigeria in 2054
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of Nigeria at 376,177,420 in 2054. Compared with 2044, when the projection stands at 331,983,358, that represents growth of 13.3% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 25.9 years, Nigeria would have a youth dependency ratio of 44.8 and an old-age dependency ratio of 7.3 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is stationary: cohort sizes are roughly even through the younger ages, reflecting fertility close to replacement level and slow population change.
