ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses the need to engage the private sector in resource mobilisation to fund the sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Nigeria. It notes that inadequate resources could hamper the actualisation of the commitment of the government towards the attainment of the SDGs in Nigeria. It contends that there is an urgent need to exploit other options of funding the SDGs like public private partnership (PPP). However, in adopting PPPs for SDGs, there should be proper evaluation for any specific SDGs project to ensure that the cost element is competitive. Also, PPPs should be designed in such a way that it does not place additional burden on the people. It recommends that the government should adopt PPP strategies for the SDGs that does not place direct payment burdens on the Consumers.
