Finding: In Nigeria, the President engaged personally in creating a participatory mechanism for 2030 Agenda implementation. It started by creating an office within the Presidency, appointing a Senior Special Assistant of the Presidency on SDGs. Afterwards, by Presidential decision, an Inter-Ministerial Committee was created to ensure government coordination, followed by the establishment of a non-State actor advisory group under the Inter-Ministerial Committee, liaising the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on SDGs.
