Adamawa state population is projected to be approximately 2·819 million by the year 2001. This gives an increase of 716,784 as compared to the 1991 census figure, which is 2,102,053 for the state. The last census (1991) formed the basis of this projection. Further, 1996 projected population was projected to the year 2001. The projections were obtained using an exponential growth model. The 1996 Doctors/population and Nurses and Mid-wives/population ratios obtained as 1:29,840 and 1: 7197 respectively are above the World Health Organisation's recommendation (1:10,000 and 1:5,000 respectively).
