dc.description.abstractExamination of the trend in U5MR in Nigeria shows that the projection of 55 per 1000 for 2015 may be unattainable because of the unabating increase recorded in the past five years. The secondary data show that about $%.& per cent of the children die before their first birthday while %5 per cent die before the end of their first month. The most common killers of the under five children are found to be Bronco pneumonia, Sepsis, Anaemia and Malaria).Under five mortality are found to be related to mothers education and income. However, age of mothers and their occupation are not significant contributors to U5MR. Traditional beliefs are found to be important in the treatment of diseases of children as mothers who see their sick children as spiritually afflicted will rather seek for spiritual assistance than take them to hospital for treatment.en_US
