Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are 8 international goals that were officially established following the millennium summit of the United Nations in 2000, as well as the adoption of the United Nation Millennium Declaration. 

The MDGs caught the world’s imagination from the very day they were agreed by a record of 189 countries and 23 international organization at the UN General Assembly in September 2000, agreed to achieving those target. Nigeria was an enthusiastic signatory to the MDGs and has claimed to pursue them vigorously since then, though with varying degrees of success. While MDGs are for all mankind, they are primarily about children, in part because children are the most vulnerable when essentials like food, water, and healthcare are scarce. Children are always the first victims, six of the eight goals relates directly to children.



The aim of MDGs is to encourage development by improving social and economic conditions in the world’s poorest countries. The millennium declaration produced by the United Nations, which asserts that every individual has the right to dignity, freedom, equality, a basic standard of living that includes freedom from hunger and violence, and encourages tolerance and solidarity. The MDGs were made to operationalize these ideas by setting targets and indicators for poverty reduction in order to achieve the right set forth in the declaration on a set fifteen-year timeline, there are 8 goals with 21 targets and a series of measurable health indicators and economic indicators for each target.

The special adviser to the Gov on MDGs Dr Madgalyn Dura visited a community in Zone c to access the area and how MDGS can take development and basic amenities closer to this community where good source of water and better road network is needed.The only source of water here is this stream,it won't be bad if MDGs sink boreholes for them.See more pictures.
