ABSTRACT
The place of social planning as a veritable mechanism for development to occur cannot be over emphasized. This paper sought to give a retrospective-prospective analysis of a global planning strategy adopted by most nations to better the lives of people – MDG’s. It is in this light, that the study using secondary data evaluated the MDG’s epochin Nigeria, how far and how well they achieved their set targets. The paper opined that although the MDGs era in Nigeria recorded minor progress with regards to targeted goals, it did not meet the required reasonable targets. Hence as the world shifted attention to the SDG’s, it becomes imperative that Nigeria should strive to achieve the new goals through a concerted effort by all stakeholders. It is therefore essential that the Nigerian government distillates on key areas that can help boost and sustain its developmental objectives to avoid the inadequacies in achieving the MDG’s.
