Orelope-Adefulire reiterated the importance of the SDGs as a global call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for all by 2030.
In alignment with President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda, she stressed the need to prioritise interventions with significant impacts on multidimensional poverty, such as basic healthcare, vocational skills development, and education.
