Around the world, advances in promoting the rule of law and access to justice are uneven.
#SIC2019 #SDG16 #GlobalGoals Image
In Nigeria, ongoing insecurity & high-profile accountability challenges make attaining the #SDG16 goal to “promote peaceful & inclusive societies for sustainable development,access to justice for all & build effective,accountable & inclusive institutions at all levels” difficult.
Due to the structure of the Nigerian political, social and economic life, the youth who make up over 50% of the population, and have creative and innovative solutions around these issues aren’t utilised in achieving the SDGs. #SIC2019 #GlobalGoals
