ACHIEVING LIFELONG LEARNING IN NIGERIA THROUGH BUSINESS PRACTICES: A LITERATURE REVIEW

Abstract

Lifelong learning and sustainable development are doubtless the key to empowerment, innovation and social change. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were formulated in the year 2015 by the United Nations (UN) General Assembly, so that UN member states will have a guiding framework for their national agenda. It behooves us in Nigeria to examine global best business practices that can foster the achievement of lifelong learning in Nigeria. A systematic literature review was conducted and various scientific articles have been examined for this purpose. It was discovered that there are eight (8) Business Practices adopted internationally between the year 2010 and 2020 that are capable of promoting lifelong learning in Nigeria. The implication of this study is that corporate organizations, Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) centres and teachers and policy makers in Nigeria are enjoined to adopt these eight (8) global best business practices in fulfilment of SDGs4: Lifelong learning.
