Industrial Management Purpose - Education around the globe is in a crisis. Over 263 million children and young people who are of school ages are out of school, with these number about 60 million of the children are currently leaving in dangerous areas around the world. Van Fleet & Steer (2017) state that if these crises are not curtailed by 2030, there will be over 800 million children out of school. Nigeria is not exempted from this global crisis facing education, as the country currently accounts for the highest out of school children in the of Sub Saharan Africa.Officially this number stands at 10million while the unofficial figure stands at 17 million (Lawal, 2016). The system is characterized by lack of learning equipment, skilled teachers, physical infrastructure, insufficient funding among other problems. This has shown that government has not been able to provide quality education for it populace as enshrined in goal four of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This has made it imperative for non-state actors such as Multinational Corporations to intervene to aid states in the achievement of the SDG goals, and this is a collaboration between countries and MNCs to achieve this goal are enshrined in the United Nations (UN) Global compact (Bello, Othman & Shariffuddin, 2017). The government of Nigeria have partnered with states and non-state actors such as intergovernmental organisation such as World Bank, UNESCO, MNCs, IGO among others to help improve the standard of education in Nigeria. However, these have not sufficed which has made it imperative for partnership with MNCs. The objective of this paper is therefore to assess the impact of Etisalat CSR intervention in Nigeria’s education sector with the view of assisting the government in the achievement of SDG 4. 2017-12-05 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://repo.uum.edu.my/24516/1/SICONSEM%202017%2051%2053.pdf Bello, Ismail and Dutse, Asmau Isyaku (2017) Utilizing private money for public good: Assessing the impact of multinational corporation in achieving sustainable development goals four: Quality education.
