Abstract
This design exploration work has been designed to precisely and critically probe and examine “ The impact of over population in the socio- profitable development of Nigeria ’’ using Osisioma Ngwa Local Government in Abia State( particularly, Aba city) as a case study, it also contains some othersub-topics similar as the causes of over population, benefits of over population, results to the problems of over population and the need for population study in Nigeria among others set up in five( 5) different but largely affiliated chapters. This exploration design will significantly serve as a bulk of references to the government of Nigeria, in the expression of doable, effective and sound socio- Economic Development plans and programs in the country, also to scholars and other experimenters who would wish to gain information in this sphere of knowledge. The conception of the impact of over population in the socio- profitable development of Nigeria is needed by the recognition of the critical need to attack the negative recrimination of over population as stronganti-socio-economic development factors in Nigeria and the findings of this exploration if precisely enforced, world achieve a tremendous relief to the situation at hand.

Over population is a veritably big trouble to the socio- profitable development of any given country most especially when the available coffers is no where to wagon for the requirements and jones of the people coupled with bad leadership and governance or political insecurity as set up in our country Nigeria.

This study will also cover Aba city and colorful orders of people who live in it who’ll give us well-conditioned information which would be used in making conclusion and recommendations on this work.
Limitation Of The Study
In a veritably large country like Nigeria and its large home and population size, the experimenter couldn’t extend his exploration to all areas of the country rather it was limited to Osisioma Ngwa Original government area in Abia state as a result of the following reasons.
1. FINANCE
The plutocrat needed for transportation into all the areas of the country and for searching every papers and information on the internet and libraries was too important to be handed by the experimenter during the course of the exploration exercise.
2. POOR COMMUNICATION
numerous people who the experimenter tried to solicit in that city weren’t from his lineage and they set up it delicate to communicate with English and this led to lost of information.
3. LACK OF INTEREST in PEOPLE
numerous people weren’t interested while some others felt bias in responding to the questions, some claimed to be veritably busy and unfit to give the necessary attention, and this led to lack of information.
4. TIME FRAME
The time given for the completion of this design work wasn’t enough for a detailed exploration in a content like this considering so numerous other effects that demanded analogous if not equal attention similar as term papers report jotting tests and indeed the examination.
