Abstract:
The qualitative impact and influence of multinational corporations (MNCs) on society, as defined by the United Nations (UN) 2030 agenda, as well as their contribution to Nigeria's attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), were studied (SDGs). Additionally, it establishes the framework for a "new corporate social responsibility" in terms of the corporate Nigerian business sector's increasing commitment to sustainability. This research also examines the nature and function of multinational corporations, contrasting non-state elements, responsibilities in broader social settings, and state obligations in achieving the SDGs. Additionally, this study suggests practical measures for achieving the SDGs in Nigeria, including progressive roles for both the state and multinational corporations (MNCs), with the goal of complementing states' responsibilities for providing public goods and social services that will assist Nigeria and Africa in achieving the SDGs.
