12. SDGs GOAL ONE: End Poverty in All Its Forms Everywhere
One of the outcomes of the UN analysis on SDGs Goal 1 states that “the majority of
people living on less than $1.90 a day live in sub-Saharan Africa. This corroborates
the outcome of the Ogun State Household survey as 69.25% of the respondents falls
into this category. The outcome of the analysis shows that out of 2475 respondents,
1714 representing 69.25% earns an income between the range of less than N18,000
and N48,000.
In 2017, the outcome of the baseline shows that 43.5% of the respondents are
earning between N18,000 and N48,000 while 30.1% earn less than N18,000. In total,
73.6% of the respondents earn between less than N18,000 and N48,000.
13. SDGs GOAL ONE: End Poverty in All Its Forms Everywhere
The class of people in the poverty range are self-employed,
artisans and farmers.
This is a pointer that for the Ogun State government to
improve the poverty rate in the State, there is the need for
interventions for citizens that are self-employed, artisans
and small scale agro producers.
The outcome also shows that the vulnerable people have
not access any social protection from the government in the
last five years
These people are the unemployed, aged, pregnant women,
and persons with disabilities
14. SDGs GOAL 2: End Hunger, Achieve Food Security and Improved Nutrition
and Promote Sustainable Agriculture
However, the Ogun State Household Survey 2019 did
not capture more on this content but believe that there
is a need to carry out a comprehensive farmers’
household study which will be useful in shaping the
state agriculture policy thrust which have not been
fully reviewed since 1986
In the OGSHS 2019 analysis report, the adequacy of
respondent daily food intake was observed and the
outcome revealed that 47.43% of the respondents were
of the opinion that their food intake is moderately
adequate while 31.07% and 21.49% agreed that their
food intake is adequate and inadequate respectively.
15. SDGs GOAL THREE: GOOD HEALTH AND WELL BEING
Comparing the outcomes of the household baseline survey 2017 and the household
survey 2019 on SDGs goal 3, it shows there were changes in respect to where citizens
undergo treatment. The result shows that in the last two years, most people engages
in self - medication and the usage of the primary healthcare centers was on the rise
compared to the private healthcare centers. However, this might be as a result of the
differences in the population cluster of the surveys. In 2017, most of the
respondents were in the urban area of the state while the 2019 survey captured
more respondents in the rural areas.
This could further be viewed as that the citizens in the urban areas have alternative
to the public healthcare services compare to the rural areas where they are limited
to primary healthcare centers or traditional healers. The question is how effective
and efficiency is the PHCs in the State? The essence of asking this question is as a
result of the rating of the private health care services which is higher than the public
health care services sector in outcomes of the survey conducted in 2017 and 2019.
16. SDGs GOAL FOUR: EDUCATION
In the last eight years, the education budget has received the lion share of the
