The empirical study investigated the issues surrounding emergency contraceptives and problems that characterized the use of EC among female students in tertiary institutions (Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria). The study primarily explores the knowledge of female students about EC, knowing fully that almost all the female students especially those that have engaged in pre-marital sex use it. Five (5) faculties were purposively selected for the study and a total of fıve hundred (500) female students were also selected for this study using accidental or grab sampling technique. The fındings of the study mainly revealed that the knowledge of female students about ECs was not too encouraging because they don't know what to use and are not always ready/prepared for the usage any time they want to satisfy their sexual urge but rather engage in EC any time they have unprotected sex with their partners. It means the health sector has quite a number of intervention stepsAvork to do in terms of seminarsAvorkshops, enlightenment, orientation and educating the students without which the attainment of the MDGs may be a tall dream in Nigeria and some of them may accidentally give birth to child that his/her father cannot be identifıed as a result of multiple sex partners and fınally, there will be continuity in the spread of STDs.
