Abstract :
Nigeria has formulated and implemented
numerous national development plans with the aim of
achieving long-term development. However, these plans
have not adequately addressed the need for a
comprehensive development strategy that takes into
account the impact of diverse development plans and
policies on global sustainable development goals. This
research endeavour aimed to establish a framework for
evaluating the interlinkages among various goals and
targets, specifically focusing on the Water-Energy-Food
Nexus within the context of Nigeria's development
framework and policies. Employing content analysis as
the chosen methodology, the study scrutinized the
Nigerian Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP)
2017-2020 and the National Policy on Food and Nutrition
(NPFN) to identify possible synergies and trade-offs with
respect to SDGs 1, 2, 6, and 7.This research contributes
to the knowledge base by offering policymakers in
various sectors a broader understanding of the
connections between different national policies and the
SDGs.
