3. University of Lagos (UNILAG) Akoka, Lagos state
4. Federal University of Technology (FUTA) Akure, Ondo state
5. Federal University of Agriculture (FUNAAB) Abeokuta, Ogun state
6. Ambrose Ali University (AAU) Ekpoma, Edo state
7. Federal University (FUOYE) Oye, Ekiti state and
8. Bingham University, (BU) Jos, Plateau state.

Our Mission
To contribute to the improvement of the quality of life for young people in cities and communities by equipping them with the right knowledge and skills to take action for the future we want in localizing the SDGs in Nigeria.
Our Vision
We envision seeing empowered youths in cities and communities with improved knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development to become global citizens.
Today through collaboration with the SDGs Students Hub and other partners we officially flag off the club after it was postponed last year.
Our Goal
The project aims to empower the youths to become global advocates through the creation of SDGs hubs at university campuses, SDGs awareness at schools, and communities’ outreaches where they can learn to collaborate, build trust with empathy to become responsible citizens and ensure they are well equipped with the right knowledge and skills to take action for the future we want in localizing the SDGs in Nigeria.
Our SDGs Focus
SDGs 4.7: by 2030 ensure all learners acquire the knowledge and skills needed to promote sustainable development, including among others education for sustainable development and sustainable lifestyles, human rights, gender equality, promotion of a culture of peace and non-violence, global citizenship, and appreciation of cultural diversity and culture’s contribution to sustainable development.
I hereby call on students, members of communities in Kano State to support the implementation of this project in our beloved state.
Kindly join the live event going on right now.
