Bala Yusuf Yunusa, Senior Technical Adviser to the Office of the President’s Chief Special Assistant (SSAP) on the SDA, said this in Lafarge Africa Plc’s series of sustainable webinars on the theme: “The decade of action: advancing the SDA in a publication – it was pandemic.”

Yunusa, who represented Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, the president’s lead special assistant on sustainable progression goals, said the pandemic only posed a massive burden on the country due to the socio-economic impact, but also revealed the vulnerability of Nigeria’s fitness system.

We urgently want to rebuild if we want to be on track to achieve the SDGs by 2030,” he said.

Yunusa recognized that strengthening existing public-private partnerships, financing sustainable development, coordinating and strengthening governance, among others, are essential to achieving the SDGs.

“We want to use the intelligently realigned National Statistical System (NSS) to monitor well and monitor the implementation of the SDGs annually.This will indicate the specific interventions of the SDGs throughout the country.

“We will also have to consciously use Nigeria’s iSDG simulation style to expand the next national progression plan (2021-2025) and the domestication of the plan-making style in all 36 states.
