MDGs’
challenges surmountable --Obasanjo
From
KABIRU YUSUF, Abuja
President Olusegun Obasanjo yesterday in Abuja assessed the
challenges facing Nigeria in meeting the United Nations’
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and concluded that they were
not insurmountable.
Presiding over the quarterly meeting of the Presidential
Committee on the Assessment and Monitoring of the MDGs at the
State House, the president noted that one of the ways of meeting
the challenges was for states and local governments to “wake up
to their responsibilities in order to complement the efforts of
the federal government.”
