This study was undertaken to assess the utilization of cervical cancer screening services in health facilities in Nasarawa local Government area of Kano State. A retrospective study was carried out to determine the utilization of the services by checking the health facility’s records from 2011-2014 with a checklist and workers were interviewed with an interview schedule. Data were collected and analyzed using Minitab. Results showed that the availability of cervical cancer screening is grossly low (4.8%) in health facilities in Nasarawa LGA as only one secondary facility is offering the services. Pap smear and fine needle aspiration cytology were the only available screening services provided. 34% represents the highest number of clients who have utilized the services from 2011-2014 and majority of them (39%) were within the ages of 31-40yrs. Majority of the respondents (86%) said fear of outcome is one of the factors responsible for non-utilization while 51% said lack of awareness is another factor. In conclusion, the utilization of cervical cancer screening is very low. Public enlightenment targeting the women should be instituted. Cervical cancer screening services should be made available and affordable to women.
