October 6, 2021 NIGERIA@61: Stakeholders Urged to Urgently Take Action to Meet 2030 SDG 4 on Quality Education
  The Sustainable Development Goals target for education will only be achieved in Nigeria if government and all relevant stakeholders take necessary steps to meeting the criteria set by the United Nations. The Sustainable Development Goal 4, which is quality education, aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all, expand higher education scholarships and increase the supply of qualified teachers in developing countries. The SDG Goal 4 also focuses on building and upgrading education facilities that are child, disability and gender sensitive as well as provision of safe, non-violent, inclusive and effective learning environments for all. Mrs UNYIME WILLIAM, a facilitator with Action Aid, spoke to Correspondent DIANIME UKO on the sidelines of a sensitization campaign to students of Akwa Ibom State Polytechnic, Ikot Osurua, on their roles in the achievement of the SDGs goal. According to Mrs WILLIAM, there is an urgent need for government to fix infrastructure in primary, secondary and tertiary schools, pay bursary and give scholarships to deserving students and employ qualified and adequate teachers in order to meet the 2030 target. The students also demanded that their classrooms, libraries and laboratories be upgraded and equipped to meet up with international standard to enhance learning. Correspondent DIANIME UKO reports that Nigeria, which just turned 61 years old, has only nine more years to the 2030 deadline set for actualization of the Sustainable Development Goals.
