Most nations of the world are faced with the problem of minimizing poverty and other challenges and Nigeria is not an exception. Nations of the world have devised ways to end these challenges. And one of the ways out of these challenges is the introduction of sustainable development goals as organizing principles for meeting human development goals and to sustain the natural systems to provide natural resources and ecosystem services upon which the ecosystem and the society depend. Another major goal of sustainable development is how education can be used for national development. It is the focus of this paper to point out how social studies can be utilized in achieving the junior secondary school education program for sustainable development. The method used by this research is a theoretical framework.
