Abstract

The United Nations Organizations in September 2000 made the millennium development declaration; which set the Millennium development goals (MDGs) following the failure of various development initiatives across the globe. The target date for achieving all the eight goals was put at 2015. With Nigeria performing poorly under all acceptable developmental indices, the country is categorized as one of the poor nations of the world in spite of its enormous resources. The church since inception has been committed to human development and poverty alleviation, commencing from the teaching and ministry of Christ, through the early church and the missionaries. Given Nigeria’s precarious situation, the task before the Church becomes enormous. Adopting the group theoretical framework, the paper studied the achievement of the MDGs in Nigeria through the prism of the contributions of the Redeemed Christian Church of God and Seventh-day Adventist Church. The study relied on secondary data, comprising of relevant published books, scholarly journal articles, conference and institutional papers, and articles downloaded from the internet. Content analysis of the data collected was carried out. The findings of the study revealed that the church has made enormous contributions towards goals one to six. The paper concludes that though the MDGs may not be achievable by 2015, the Church should improve on its strategies by building synergy with other organizations, including government ministries, departments, and agencies as well as NGOs, and other inter faith organizations towards achieving the MDGs.
