ABSTRACT
There is no gainsaying the fact that development is essential and
inevitable in every human society. Thus every society strives towards
development invariably giving rise to uneven or unequal development. In other
words, it gives rise to a situation whereby some societies develop at a greater
pace than others. This can be attributed to the divergent developmental
challenges peculiar to that society. For the society to develop, therefore, it must
surmount all these hurdles.
Nigeria and other States tagged the Global South have long been
bedeviled with a plethora of developmental woes thus necessitating the
launching of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by the United
Nations in 2000. The MDGs include eight goals the major thrust of which is to
halve poverty by the year 2015. Though modest in its entirety, the MDGs mark
a departure from previously internationally generated development programmes
and policies as it is centred on human welfare with no conditionalities attached.
The Marxist Theory of the State was employed in the broad task of this
study which is to explore the MDGs and challenges of development in Nigeria.
This study equally shows the link between political corruption and policy
implementation.
