Conversations around women’s issues have taken center stage in the current presidential debates.

It was a big pleasure to share my thoughts at the closing plenary of the 30th NESG. I asked if we are measuring our SDGs interventions properly and asking the right question: to what end?
At Plenary V of the 30th Nigerian Economic Summit, themed "Race to 2030: Catalysing Sub-National Action Towards Meeting the SDGs," Oluseun Onigbinde, Global Director BudgIT, highlighted a critical misalignment between SDG-related challenges and current funding allocations. He attributed this disconnection to insufficient data, alongside deficiencies in accurate measurement and tracking mechanisms, which hinder effective progress monitoring and resource allocation towards achieving the SDGs. #NES30 #SDGs #RaceTo2030 #CollaborativeAction #GrowthandStability #Competitiveness
