Last month, the Federal Government of Nigeria organised a Cycling competition in Abuja to promote the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The questions that require honest answers are:

Now the cycling completion is over,

1. What significant impact(s) did the competition have in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria?

2. Did the cycling competition create any positive influence in bringing us closer in achieving the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria?

It is still amazing that ‘cycling’ was a preferred option to promote Sustainable Development Goals. There are better options that can promote the SDGs as well as produce sustainable solutions to help Nigeria achieve the SDGs by 2030. These include:

1. Organising competitions for Nigerians to showcase their ingenuity and pitch their creative sustainable solutions that will solve the Sustainable development problems in Nigeria.

2. Doing a reality show where by people get to come up with innovative solutions to achieve the targets of the various SDGs.

3. If at all this cycling completion is necessary, then it should be done in rural and remote areas not in developed areas (when compared with other places in Nigeria). Develop Naija believes the people in remote areas need more enlightenment of the Sustainable Development Goals.

We have had enough of awareness, we need ACTION! Creating awareness with little or no action makes the dream of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in Nigeria futile.

It is time to for Action! The Nigerian government should begin to organise impact and problem-solving activities to help Nigeria achieve the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, and not just fun and pleasure seeking activities.

The day Nigeria is restructured, 80% of our problem will be solved, all this cycling nah just nonsense and waste of time.

We need to practice our federalism the way it's be done in the USA, or practice confederation.

We are just wasting our time with this system of government we run cause things are just getting worst.

We never ready at all

Exactly, we are not yet ready! It's just too sad .
I hope the next administration will be the change we've be hoping for.
