Abstract

This study investigated strategies for achieving
sustainable inclusive education in South-south Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria. A
survey of two hundred (200) participants comprising of key actors of
Sustainable Development Goals such as Desk Officers Ministry of Education,
members of National Assembly and House Representatives, etc. from South-south
Geopolitical Zone of Nigeria selected through expert sampling technique. Three null hypotheses were formulated to
direct the study. A twenty (20) item questionnaire with a four point rating
scale and reliability coefficient of 0.76 was used to canvass opinions of these
stakeholders on the effectiveness of strategies such as establishment of
National Commission on Sustainable Development for Persons with Disabilities,
workable follow up mechanisms and disaggregated data by disability so to
establish a link between these strategies and achievement of sustainable inclusive
education. The data collected were statistically analyzed using Pearson Product
Moment Correlation Analysis. The findings revealed that these strategies are
effective and significantly related with achievement of sustainable inclusive
education. It was recommended that the government
should establish workable follow up mechanisms at federal, state and local
government levels to monitor, evaluate and hold key national SDGs actors
accountable for implementation of the development agenda
