Staff members from the United Nations Information Center in Lagos introduced more than 2,500 students to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals at a special workshop at Nurul Hudda Primary School in Tudun Wada Zaria, Nigeria, recently.
UNIC Lagos Director Ronald Kayanja and National Information Officer Oluseyi Soremekun explained each of the goals and briefed the students on the UN’s work in promoting global peace and development. By the end of the session, students tested were able to name at least three of the goals.
The event was the first such outreach programme held in northwest Nigeria.
