Countries in Africa have been urged to strive for improvement in the areas of data aggregation, developmental techniques and empowerment of people to enable them meet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.
Partner at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Tolu Oyekan, made the call while highlighting challenges hindering development in the region and proffering possible solutions to address the numerous problems in the continent.
Oyekan said: “The UN has set a target of 2030 to reach the SDGs and in effect eliminate the developmental obstacles to growth and minimum livelihoods that hold back Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and other countries around the world. For SSA, that is an ambitious deadline.”
