Data collected were analyzed using frequency Table and the hypothesis were tested using Pearson Correlation statistical tool SSPS v23.

In Nigeria a network of capable safe motherhood champions exists. However, this network has yet to capitalize on its potential power, and political priority remains low; Husbands should allow their wives to attend antenatal clinic and to deliver in the hospital; Women folk should avoid delay in seeking medical attention, attend antenatal clinic and deliver in hospitals; Parents need to invest in girl child education. Health personnel should desist from harassing their patients and show more concern.
