Millennium Developmental Goals in the Post-2015 Era: Assessing Sustainability through the Younger Generation
Abstract: Most policy initiatives undertaken by the government in Nigeria have failed to address the problems they were meant to solve, basically, due to inadequate planning and poor implementation. By looking at specific indicators, this study adopted the survey research design to assess not only the outputs in terms of physical infrastructure but also the impact of the relevant policy initiatives on the target group in terms of positive attitudinal change. Findings revealed that the measures adopted in tackling the relevant developmental challenge are inadequate, which threatens the sustainability of the goals. Necessary recommendations were made to serve as a guide for subsequent policy actions.
