dc.description.abstractThis research work explored the challenges, prospects and recommendations for advancing and achieving the broad-based United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to Nigerians and legal residents, using the e-identification management platform. The research also examined the linkages between security and e-identification to cushion the challenges of insecurity, corruption and financial impropriety in managing the affairs of the Nigerian State. It identified gaps on the part of the Federal Government of Nigeria in prioritizing and managing e-identification and security programs in the country, which is very fundamental in advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, Target 16.9 “provide legal identity for all including free birth registration”. The research adopted a descriptive qualitative and quantitative research method based on structured questionnaires / interviews and random sampling of respondents in six states of the federation including the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The analysis of the questionnaire was supported by secondary sources of information inputted into the structured questions to act as guide to validate the hypothesis proffered in the research work. The research findings clearly indicated the existing gaps in the relationships between identity management and sustainable development programs in Nigeria, supporting the premise that poorly conceived and ill-managed e-identity management and security architecture directly or indirectly impacts the planning, organizing, leading and controlling the management processes for citizens gaining access to state resources and advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The research recommends that the Federal Government of Nigeria prioritizes e-identification programs, summon the political will to implement and enforce the legislations on identification and security as well as adopt wholeheartedly the implementation of the recommendations and suggestions proffered in this research. Key Words: e-identification, security, sustainable development, prioritization, political will Word Count: 282
