Abstract
Rationale This study critically examines Nigeria’s journey towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) since their inception. Nigeria, a United Nations member state and a major oil producer, faces challenges like socio-economic disparities, political instability, corruption, and prevalent poverty, despite its cultural richness and natural resources. Objectives The primary aim is to evaluate Nigeria’s alignment with the SDGs within its national development frameworks, highlighting the significance of these goals in addressing the country’s multifaceted developmental challenges. These challenges span various sectors including poverty, health, education, and environmental sustainability. Methods The study conducts a detailed analysis of Nigeria’s background, including its cultural diversity and developmental hurdles. It reviews national policies and initiatives, notably the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP), and the role of the Ministry of Budget and National Planning in coordinating SDG efforts. Results Findings suggest partial progress in SDG integration within Nigeria’s development plans. While some strides have been made in areas like policy alignment and strategic planning, challenges persist in effective implementation and tackling systemic issues like inequality and corruption. Conclusion The analysis reveals that, while Nigeria has made efforts to incorporate the SDGs into national policies, significant gaps remain in addressing key challenges. The complexity of Nigeria’s socio-economic and political landscape presents both hurdles and opportunities for sustainable development. Recommendations The study advocates for more robust policy implementation, enhanced stakeholder engagement, and targeted strategies to overcome specific challenges. By addressing these areas, Nigeria can accelerate its progress towards the SDGs, paving the way for comprehensive and sustainable national development.
