Nigeria, a developing nation is experiencing the overwhelming effects of her exponentially ever-increasing population. This paper is aimed at projecting the future population of Nigeria using the exponential and geometric growth models from 1991 and 2006 population censuses of Nigeria. The resultant effects are clearly evident for all stakeholders to see and feel. Researches have been carried out to study, explain and recommend likely solutions to the population growth of Nigeria. The data used in this research paper were extracted from the National Population Commission of Nigeria bulletin which was secondary data. The forecast for Geometric and Exponential models were made using last Nigeria population census 2006 as base population and projection were made from 2012 to 2022 and adopt the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) to detect which of the methods adopted is better for population projection. RMSE of both geometric and exponential population projections are 1,832,610,950 and 1,930,404,821 respectively. The multiple bar chart was drawn which indicated higher increase in population projection for both geometric and exponential growth models.
