Samuel Akala will be among eminent Nigerians that will be honoured for the roles they have played in promoting peace in their areas through proactive and people oriented programmes and projects that the SDG entails. Hon. Akala who was among LGA chairmen elected in Nasarawa sate recently has according to the statement helped in youth empowerment and agricultural support programmes which the is par of the goals of the SDG.

IAWPA decried the reference of Nigeria as the headquarters of poverty in the world by the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. It said rather than duel on such reference, Nigerians must react positively by embracing the 17 goals that are in the SDG. “We can make a statement to the world that even if they may see us as the headquarters of poverty in the world, we can bounce out by ensuring that sound plans and policies are put in place to ensure we come out greater. This is achievable and we are proud to honour Nigerians who have contributed so much to better the lots of their fellow Nigerians”. The statement said.

The Sustainable Development Goals was signed by member countries of the United Nations in 2015. It is the successor to the Millenium development Goals MDG which lasted from the year 2000 to 2015. The SDG is expected to last till 2030.
