@TunjiAndrews @NigeriainfoFM @BimbolaAwoyele 1)Decades of #policy gaps on management of #water #resources has cost #Nigeria very dearly In North East - Lack of preparation for shrinking of #LakeChad resulted in collapse of #fishing & #farming leading to mass #unemployment contributing to rise of #BokoHaram #WorldWaterWeek

Creating a more stable and peaceful future starts with quality education. A new study by GPE and @GlobPeaceIndex found that higher government spending on education is correlated with fewer and shorter conflicts: g.pe/YIlO50QTCSX #FundEducation

📢JUST LAUNCHED! New @ilo report says that annual profits from forced labour reach a staggering $236 billion, highlighting the alarming scale of exploitation in the global economy. ⛔ Time to #EndForcedLabour ow.ly/6O1C50QWnbH

9 out of 10 countries with highest out-of-school rates for girls are in Sub-Saharan Africa. We urgently need to invest in their education to bridge the gap! #InvestInWomen ➡️ bit.ly/hereducationou… #HerEducationOurFuture @UNESCOstat

Ending child marriage starts in the classroom.

This year we are commemorating 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which enshrines the right to seek, receive & impart #information & #ideas through any #media for all people The theme for this years World Development Information Day... is the mobilisation of public opinion for Sustainable Development Goals. You may ask why we need to mobilise public opinion for the #SDGs? The reason is that half way to the 2030 deadline (for the SDGs) we are on track to meet only 15% of the 17 goals globally... @MatzSchmale @UN_Nigeria Coordinator at @Dev_Journalism 2023 World #Development #Information Day Lecture. —————————— Themes: #GlobalGoals #HumanRights #Inequality #Sustainable #Development #UDHR #UDHR75 _______ CC: @ILOAbuja / @macfound / @OCHANigeria/ @luminategroup / @UnaidsNigeria /@unesco_abuja/ @UNDPNigeria/ @UNDPAfrica / @UNICEF_Nigeria / @UNFPANigeria / @UN_Nigeria / @unwomenNG / @WHONigeria/@GatesAfrica -------- @AddicoG /@BeatriceEyong / @ChandaGinsberg / @CheikhOSeydi / @C_Munduate /@dimsanga / @Jzoungrana / @LZekeng / @Mo_UNDP / @emkenmoe / @pbasinga / @RonKayanja/ @teewai_toyin / @vanessaphala / @WMulombo

Education belongs to ALL. But not all have access to it. Today, millions globally are still deprived of their #RightToEducation. This is not the world we want. On #HumanRightsDay, join our call to ensure every child & youth can go to school & thrive. on.unesco.org/3RgZ5uV

Society is roughly half men & half women - But women are under represented (in #governance & #politics) If you look at #Nigeria’s #parliament there is less than 5% womens representation Would you describe that as #democracy? Would you describe that as equal #representation? Of course not.

‘Instead of ignoring demographic changes & waiting until they pose material challenges for labor markets, social protection systems, health care, service delivery, public finance etc – it's critical to anticipate & prepare well ahead.’ @JulittaOnabanjo opens the #SeoulSymposium23

Six areas where if we have catalytic change - we will get much further with #SDGs 1⃣Young people into decent #employment & livelihood opportunities 2⃣Strengthened #food systems (#data indicates 60% of food produced in #Nigeria never reaches consumers) 3⃣Giving children quality #learning opportunities for basic #literacy & relevant #skills 4⃣Increasing access to quality primary #healthcare 5⃣Protecting women & girls from violence (#GBV) 6⃣Strengthening public #institutions & #services to make them more accountable & transparent @MatzSchmale @UN_Nigeria Resident Coordinator at @Dev_Journalism 2023 World #Development #Information Day Lecture. __________ Themes: #GlobalGoals #Inequality #Sustainable Development #16DaysOfActivism _______ CC @ILOAbuja @unesco_abuja @UNDPNigeria @UNICEF_Nigeria @UNFPANigeria @WHONigeria @AddicoG @BeatriceEyong @C_Munduate @Jzoungrana @RonKayanja @vanessaphala @WMulombo

Let's #FundEducation to end extreme poverty. Access to quality education not only increases individual earnings, it also promotes broader economic growth and helps societies mitigate the impacts of climate change - a key driver for exacerbating inequalities.
