Lagos State government has identified 10 high-impact goals to prioritise in its drive for inclusive growth, improved quality of life, environmental sustainability and shared prosperity in a bid to fast-track the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The special adviser to the governor on SDGs, Dr Oreoluwa Finnih, who stated this during the 2025 Ministerial Press Briefing at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre, Alausa, Ikeja, emphasised the importance of setting a coordinated agenda for collective impact.

She noted that the office is focused on fostering strategic partnerships, mobilising resources and tracking measurable progress.

Describing the SDGs as a blueprint for a resilient, equitable and prosperous society, Dr Finnih disclosed that the 10 prioritised goals – Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), Goal 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), Goal 13 (Climate Action), Goal 16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions), and Goal 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), were prioritised based on a robust framework that assessed both impact and feasibility.

According to her, prioritising these goals is not a policy shift but a deliberate approach compelled by global and local imperatives, saying the 10 SDGs represent the areas where the state has the highest comparative advantage and can make the greatest difference without neglecting the other goals, which have been mainstreamed into the state’s broader development strategies.

She emphasised that this strategic direction is in line with the new global trends where every city prioritise each of the 17 goals according local need as revealed by the outcome of their various Voluntary Local Review (VLR), stressing that the initiative take cognisance of the SDGs with the highest multiplier effects that can drive progress through other SDGs.

Dr Finnih explained that while the office is balancing competing priorities through an approach that leaves no one behind, remarkable strides have been made in implementing transformative interventions in line with the T.H.E.M.E.S Plus development agenda.

Harping on the achievements of the office in recent years, she revealed that the maiden Lagos Sustainability Summit has further provided a roadmap on critical areas, including inclusive and equitable development, climate mitigation, resilience and adaptation, sustainable infrastructure and investment, green jobs, and sustainable livelihoods.

“Our Lighthouse Project, a flagship initiative targeting over 650,000 residents in hard-to-reach communities across the State’s 20 LGAs, has delivered tailored interventions in education, healthcare, and sanitation, positively impacting over 800,000 people,” she said.
