 Legal State Government has launched their weighted legal sustainable development goals grant. According to the Special Advisor to Governor Sao Lu and SDGs Solakwe Haamund, the initiative offers grants to civil society organizations, social entrepreneurs and non-governmental organizations operating within the state. This is expected for the implementation of critical projects bearing key relevance to the actualization of the SDGs in the state. The official launch of the legal sustainable development goals SDGs impact grants challenge. The competition is believed to enable the state government create a broader based collaboration with the civil societies, NGOs and social entrepreneurs who are already implementing solutions to achieve the SDGs. Those who are working creating change around Legos to bring them together to mainstream the SDGs. We're going to pick three projects across each of the 17 SDGs and work with them to implement these projects over a period of three months bringing volunteers together to deliver on that project. Now what that does is it amplifies some of the good ideas that many of them have and we all know NGOs are very resourceful they're doing a lot of great things with very limited budgets but it also helps them in a very difficult environment such as the one we're in now where resources are quite lean we also thought it was good to help the NGOs to also be able to continue the good work that they're doing. The mandate of our office is to ensure that we implement all the SDG goals in order to meet the agenda 2030 and the best way to do it we can't do it alone it's also engaged other people who have been working in different spheres to ensure that they also realize the SDGs. The special advisor charged Legosians to be closer to the government embrace the project and join the impact making challenge. Really at the end of the day all we're saying is this government cares this government cares for impact makers and we know that we need that partnership to be able to deliver on the themes agenda and on the SDGs. We're very thankful for the great work that the NGOs and civil society organizations are doing today and we can't wait to see some of these projects that are going to come to life because of this. Understanding the roles of SDGs and the economic growth and development is as vital as understanding the roadmap to doing excellently. The current statistics of more than 133 million Nigerians who are multi-dimensionally poor is important that people are giving this this opportunity for hope and one of the ways to be hopeful is you know not to to know where your next may will come from. I would like to say that these SDGs in total have been very helpful in ensuring that we are we as an organization achieve our objectives. Applicants who must have successfully passed illegibility screenings are required to submit one project idea that addresses one of the 17 global SDGs. The project must also reflect a specific key performance index and an estimate of total people that will be impacted by the project. Love you cuckoo you cuckoo, plus TV news.
