Abstract

There are fears and skepticism about African Nations meeting the target date for the achievement of eight MDGs in Africa. This pessimism is stemmed from the various reports on the progress so far about the goals in Africa. Other obstacles being envisaged to prevent the achievement of the goals are the various crises and high level of corruption in Africa. However, this paper thinking is to the contrary. Thus, this study is optimistic that with African leaders embracing the basic tenets of good governance which lays emphasis on accountability, transparency, efficiency and effective, then the goals are realizable on the target date of 2015.The study relies on documentary data sources. Thus, the study collected secondary data from reports from research conducted by various commissions, agencies at both continental and international levels .It was desired that good governance has impacted positively on the achievement of MDGs because, it has provided enabling environment that will promote political stability legitimacy, attraction of foreign, loans and investors and debt forgiveness. The paper concludes that the hope of African nations to meet the target date of 2015 for the MDGs is brighter and higher with the leaders discarding bad governance and embracing good governance. However, it recommended that, there is the need for orientation and reorientation between the leadership and followership. Thus, the paper recommends servant leadership and free, fair and credible elections in order to ensure electorate supremacy in African nations.
