ABSTRACT
The consequences of population growth on the economic development of less developed countries are not the same because the condition prevailing in these countries are quite different from those of developed economy. Therefore the body of literature on population growth in Nigeria has always emphasized either the negative or the positive effect. Fundamentally, growth is an indispensible requisite for the development that is why Nigeria‟s economic growth had continue to dominate the main thrust of government paramount objective more importantly, growth is associated with policies of control population growth because a high population lead to a vicious depletion of a nation‟s financial and material resources. The main purpose of this study is to determine or assess the impact of population growth on Nigeria economy. This work was motivated by hypothesis of Rev T. Mathus, which point to or predict a universal socio-economic malady. Looking at Nigerian instance presently, we observed that there is a positive fulfillment of Malthus preposition of 1803.from the statement of problem we notice the population have severally truncated economic growth and eroded other factors that facilitates economic development. The objective of study also reviewed that population growth and economic growth had a negative relationship and that population growth had a negative impact on economic growth
