The ExecutiveSecretary/ChiefExecutive Officer, Financial Reporting Council of Nigeria, FRC, Dr. Rabiu Olowo, has said that Nigeria is not likely to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
Olowo disclosed this yesterday at the Lagos State Sustainability Summit while speaking on the topic Building a Sustainable Future: Aligning Financial Strategies with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, to foster Long-term Sustainability, in Lagos.
He said: Can SDGs be achieved in Nigeria before 2030? According to data, not likely. Data tells me that the journey to actualizing the 17 SDGs is still very far. Indices in each of the SDGs clearly point to that.
He noted that the world faces unprecedented challenges such as climate change, social inequality, and economic uncertainty all of which the SDGs 2030 has provide a framework for addressing and building a more sustainable future.
