Abstract

The study examined the implementation of Millennium Development Goals in Nigeria and the challenges posed by unending sectarian conflicts. It was a descriptive study that relied heavily on secondary sources of data while qualitative method was adopted in presenting the result. The study observed noticeable achievement in respect of the implementation of education, child mortality, maternal health, HIV/AID, malaria and other diseases programmes. However, a nation with abundance of natural resources, one of the least records of ecological disasters globally and friendly climate achieved very little in respect of poverty reduction, gender equality, empowerment of women and environmental sustainability. The study opined that the preponderance of conflicts contributed to loss of government revenue, hindered productivity in agriculture and other sectors, diverted attention of policy makers and caused misallocation of resources to conflict management rather than socio-economic infrastructures that could have reduced poverty and transformed the lives of the citizenry. The study recommended good governance based on political legitimacy and sustainable development partly as solution to unending conflicts to fast track the process of attaining the MDGs by 2015.
