Maternal mortality is still a major risk for women of childbearing age in Nigeria. Nigeria bore 14% of the global burden of maternal mortality. The national maternal mortality ratio has remained elevated despite efforts to reduce maternal mortality.

Therefore, this study was conducted to identify trends of Maternal Mortality, spatial pattern and modelling the causes of Maternal mortality in Jigawa state, Nigeria. Maternal Mortality data for Ten years (2008 to 2017) was obtained from Jigawa state Ministry of Health, statists Unit.
