Malaria is still of significant burden in Nigeria. The country accounts for up to a quarter of global burden, and nearly a quarter of malaria deaths occur in Nigeria with 9 – 10 persons dying of malaria or malaria related causes every hour.
Progress has however been made in the control of malaria with prevalence going down from 42% in 2010 to 27% in 2015, and to 23% in 2018 and 22% in 2021 (MIS 2010, NDHS 2018 and MIS 2021).
