: The authors confirm that all methods employed were performed in accordance with the appropriate guidelines. The study analyzed secondary data extracted from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS).

During the survey, participants provided written and verbal consent. The authors submitted a brief concept of the study to Measure DHS, which granted permission to download and analyze the data through a document from ICF. No additional ethical approval was needed since the dataset is available in the public domain. Also, the analyzes performed were in anonymous form.
