With the on-going efforts aimed at designing a successor development framework to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), the United Nations has tasked political and civic leaders in Nigeria on the early and effective implementation of the post MDGs framework.

Speaking with newsmen in Abuja, the visiting Director of the United Nations Millennium Campaign, Mr. Mitchell Toomey urged governments at federal and state levels to begin to lay institutional and financial frameworks for the implementation of the post MGDs agenda expected in January 2016

According to Mr. Toomey, “the post 2015 process provides countries including Nigeria. A golden opportunity to embark on people centred development planning which will ultimately lift millions out of poverty and inequalities as well as empower women and other vulnerable populations”.
