Global programme such as Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will hardly achieve its target without appropriate means of information dissemination and awareness creation. With regard to this, newspaper remains a vital means through which people receive information and awareness about development issues. However, the study sought to investigate how newspaper has performed in reporting SDGs since its adoption in 2015. The study particularly assessed the newspaper coverage of health and environmental issues in SDGs.The study adopted agenda setting and development media theories. Data was obtained through newspaper content analysis. Four newspapers (The Guardian, The Nation, Nigeran Tribune, and Daily Trust) were chosen based on coverage, reach, circulation and year of existence. The selected newspaper samples covered a period of 3 years. Composite sampling method was adopted to determine the sample size of 640 editions for content analysis from a population of 3,180 editions while Cohen's kappa coefficient was used to compute the inter-coder reliability. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for the analysis. From the findings, it is clear that extent of space allotted to reports on SDGs in Nigerian newspapers is minimal. Specifically, 35 items, representing 33.3% of the content were placed on half pages, while 33 of the reports was placed on quarter pages, translating to 31.4%. In addition, 28 contents (26.7%) of reports had a tiny mention, with 9 of the contents representing 8.6% were on full pages in the selected newspapers. The Nation reported 25 SDGs issues representing 62.5% in the 3rd year of the study, and 14 (40%) in the 2nd year. Guardian reported the least, which was 3 (10%) stories in the 1st year. The prominence given to SDGs in terms of number of times Nigerian newspaper published stories on SDGs is very low. In terms of report format, news story (68)65%, followed by column (19)18%, features (11)10%, and Editorial (7)7%, while there was no publications on campaign and picture format for the entire newspapers under study. Furthermore, there was a higher frequency of coverage on reproductive health (10), and a moderate coverage of malaria (4) and HIV/AIDS (4). Daily Trust reported the most (40%) of health issues in related to SDGs, while The Nation reported the least (8%). Tribune reported the most (38%) of environmental issues in related to SDGs, while Daily Trust and Guardian least (19%) each.In light of the findings, the study concluded that the selected Nigerian newspapers have not done quite well in the first three years in their role of coverage of SDGs reports to help drive SDGs towards reaching the target. Therefore, it is recommended that newspaper owners and editors should be well informed and educated on the importance of global developmental programmes which are of immense beneficial to the society.
