1)Decades of #policy gaps on management of #water #resources has cost #Nigeria very dearly
In North East - Lack of preparation for shrinking of #LakeChad resulted in collapse of #fishing & #farming leading to mass #unemployment contributing to rise of #BokoHaram

Creating a more stable and peaceful future starts with quality education.
A new study by GPE and @GlobPeaceIndex found that higher government spending on education is correlated with fewer and shorter conflicts: g.pe/YIlO50QTCSX

📢JUST LAUNCHED!
New @ilo report says that annual profits from forced labour reach a staggering $236 billion, highlighting the alarming scale of exploitation in the global economy.
⛔ Time to #EndForcedLabour

9 out of 10 countries with highest out-of-school rates for girls are in Sub-Saharan Africa. We urgently need to invest in their education to bridge the gap!

Ending child marriage starts in the classroom.
ALT If every child received 12 years of schooling, child marriage would plunge by two-thirds.

This year we are commemorating 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) which enshrines the right to seek, receive & impart #information & #ideas through any #media for all people
The theme for this years World Development Information Day... is the mobilisation of public opinion for Sustainable Development Goals.
You may ask why we need to mobilise public opinion for the #SDGs?
The reason is that half way to the 2030 deadline (for the SDGs) we are on track to meet only 15% of the 17 goals globally...

Education belongs to ALL. But not all have access to it.
Today, millions globally are still deprived of their #RightToEducation.
This is not the world we want. On #HumanRightsDay, join our call to ensure every child & youth can go to school & thrive. on.unesco.org/3RgZ5uV

Society is roughly half men & half women - But women are under represented (in #governance & #politics)
If you look at #Nigeria’s #parliament there is less than 5% womens representation
Would you describe that as #democracy?
Would you describe that as equal #representation?
Of course not.
Better democracy, better representation = better #development

FAST FACTS:
🔻160 million kids are in child labour instead of school.
🔻More than 1 in 5 young adults are missing out on education and job training.
↪️Every child deserves a classroom, not a workplace.

Let's #FundEducation to end extreme poverty.
Access to quality education not only increases individual earnings, it also promotes broader economic growth and helps societies mitigate the impacts of climate change - a key driver for exacerbating inequalities.
