Faculty of Environmental Studies, University of Nigeria Nsukka holds an international conference on the “Theoretical and analytical foundations for sustainable development in Africa”.
The 2-day conference which will be hosted on zoom by Boldscholar, an academic research organisation, will begin on Tuesday, November 3 and end Wednesday, November 4. For each day of the event, the conference will begin 8:00AM and end 6:30PM, with lunch breaks at intervals.
The conference, which promises to be exciting, will have the participants present diverse papers on issues related to sustainable development in Africa. According to the conference Chairman, LOC, Dr. Donald C. Okeke (Reader), the 2020 conference is meant to expose the fundamental and temporal realms of sustainable development. The objective is to enable the recognition of sustainable development as science or pseudoscience. The purpose is to moderate the perception of sustainable development as social sciences or natural sciences or both. Whichever is the case it has implications on sustainable development as a growth process. Papers are expected to treat issues related to the under listed subthemes with special focus on principles and practice and how sustainable they are.
