CENDAL Hosts SDGs
CENDAL Hosts SDGs Summit in ABU
As part of the mandate of the Centre for Development and
Advanced Learning (CENDAL) to promote educational excellence in and
around the sustainable development goals of the United Nations,
CENDAL would in collaboration with Connected Development host the
first Universities SDGs Summit in Ahmadu Bello University.
The Summit which is scheduled to hold from February 27th – 1st
March 2020 seeks to host students and professionals from different
institutions in Nigeria to drive more awareness around the United
Nations Global Goals for sustainable development.
The Summit would be featuring Panel Discussions and Paper
Presentations from VCs and other key individuals from the academia
and other institutions. Awards would also be issued to students and
other institutions for their active contribution to the Global
Goals.
With just ten years 2020 until the next review for the SDGs, the
pertinence of collaboration cannot be overemphasized.
The summit is to hold annually in different universities around
the country leading up to the next review of the United Nations and
every year a compendium of the summit detailing students concerns,
communiques from the summit panels and suggestions on how the
government and the United Nations itself can further advance better
achievement of the goals would be published. This compendium is to
serve as a referral document for public consumption.
The Centre invites Universities, Organizations and other
promoters of the SDGs to join in on the summit.
