      abstract = {The study examined the risk factors of Neonatal mortality in Nigeria. These factor include; maternal education, maternal employment status, maternal age, family income, hypothermia status, asphyxia status, new born weight status, congenital disorder and Antenatal care (ANC). The study was conducted in South East Nigeria using Triangulation method with a total sample of 150 people consisting of 50 cases and 100 controls. The study reveals that socioeconomic and proximate factors affect neonatal death in rural Nigeria. The analysis of the study was done using logistic regression analysis and the result showed that newborn weight status was most influential factor on neonatal death. Health education and creating awareness in pregnant women and mothers in the communities is a sinequanon in order to curb neonatal mortality in rural Nigeria.},
