Abstract

The New Partnership for Africa's Development (NEPAD) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are essential frameworks for advancing sustainable development in African nations, including Nigeria. NEPAD, initiated in 2001, seeks to tackle the continent's developmental difficulties by stimulating economic growth, alleviating poverty, enhancing infrastructure, and advocating for good governance. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), established by the United Nations in 2015, outline a worldwide framework for attaining a more equal, inclusive, and sustainable future by 2030. This article examines Nigeria's advancements, obstacles, and potential in executing NEPAD's programs and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It evaluates Nigeria's progress in poverty alleviation, healthcare, education, infrastructure enhancement, and gender equality, while emphasizing significant obstacles such as political instability, insufficient budget, ineffective governance, and security issues. The document examines options for utilizing regional integration, technological advancement, and private sector participation to address these obstacles and expedite progress. This study seeks to elucidate Nigeria's trajectory towards sustainable development and the attainment of NEPAD and SDG targets via the analysis of these frameworks.
