According to the CIA World Factbook and the Library of Congress Country Studies entry for Nigeria (as of 2009), 50% of the population are Muslim.
Current estimates (again as of 2009) of the population of Nigeria vary from 154 millionA to 138 millionB people which would give a Muslim population of between 77 and 69 million.
As can be seen above, estimates of population vary and in some cases are contradictory.The Department of Economic and Social Affairs Population Division of the United Nations quotes a figure of over 154 million, while the CIA world fact book quotes a figure of 149 millionC people. However the Library of Congress Country Studies entry for Nigeria quotes figures of 138 million and 140 millionB people, Some reasons for the potential variability in these figures is given in the Library of Congress report:
As of mid-2008, Nigeria's population was estimated at 138 million...Provisional results of the 2006 census indicate a total population of 140 million. Like its predecessors, this census has been controversial...Many observers, and southerners in particular, do not accept census results indicating that the north is more populous than the south. The significance of census data for political power and resource allocation exacerbates the controversy.A Exact figure 154,729,000.

C Exact figure 149,229,090. Source: CIA World Fact Book: Population and religions of Nigeria.
