Key Takeaways
Nigeria’s life expectancy improved modestly from 46 years in 1990 to 54 years by 2022, reflecting gradual progress in combating infectious diseases and improving child health. Gains during the 2000s were supported by expanded immunization campaigns and international health initiatives. However, slow progress highlights persistent challenges, including healthcare accessibility, malnutrition, and the burden of preventable diseases.
