Abstract
Child Survival has to do with programmes designed to sustain the efforts made towards a drastic reduction in the child mortality in a nation. Iris a veritable instrument, which guarantees the total elimination of childhood disease and an assurance for the future and steady growth of the children. A nation with a vibrant child survival scheme has a lot to reap from such a scheme because it creates a veritable avenue for future development of human resources, which is one of the most propelling factors in the development of a nation. In Nigeria, many child survival programmes are geared towards the attainment of total eradication of disease that affect children at the early stages of their lives. The eradication of the childhood diseases in Nigeria is an ongoing exercise and immunization protects the children from the attack of diseases. Especially the six deadly diseases. Thus, the importance of child survival programmes for the welfare of the children cannot be over emphasized. There is need to examine child survival as a factor in national development. This will enable us have more insight into the problems and prospects of the programmes and suggest ways for improvement in order to ensure meaningful national development.
