PATHWAY TO POST-2015 NIGERIA’S DEVELOPMENT: SIDESTEPPING THE MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND THEIR MAJOR CREATORS

This paper examined the centripetal and centrifugal forces surrounding the politics of MDGs and Nigeria’s post-2015 development trajectory. The paper interrogated the development trajectory of African countries within the context of core-periphery relations and concludes that the MDGs cannot promote African development. Consequently, it posits that post-2015 development agenda for the poor nations of Africa must be guided by the jettisoning of the International Community and their policies such as the MDGs and the current SDGs.
