| Sumario: | The pursuit of developmental objectives especially those related to human/social welfare like the SDGs is often hampered by funding constraints. Hence domestic resource mobilisation is critical to sustenance of developmental programmes. A key message of SDG 17 is that partnership between governments and the private sector is needed to mobilise private resources to deliver the SDGs. This paper contends that one way this partnership can be actualised in Nigeria is through the principles of taxation considering the strong relationship between taxation and development. It recommends that developing a strong tax system is necessary to sustain the funding of SDGs. |
