ABSTRACT

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are eight international development goals that all 192 United Nations member states and at least 23 international organizations have agreed to achieve by the year 2015. Implementing the MDGs is proving to be a staggering challenge. While Capacity building is the totality of all the things needed for man to perform. The challenge(s) as regards the Millennium Development Goals is simply human. Every single goal i.e. eight (8) and the targets i.e. eighteen (18) in cannot be achieved if the human capacity is not developed to handle and solve the relevant problem. The question of whether Nigeria can or cannot meet the MDGs is a crucial one.
