Respondents from Eti-Osa Local Government formed the major sources of data. The instrument of data collection was structured questionnaires and multi-stage sampling technique was employed. Data from articles, journals, books (published and unpublished) and the internet complemented the major sources of data. Findings revealed that there is a high level of impact of the contributions of LCDA in the implementation of the SDGs.
