Nigeria Vision 2020 The Vision 2020 is a grand agenda, which the federal government has adopted as the main thrust of what it is out to accomplish between now and the year 2020. It is a 13-year plan of dramatic socio-economic transformation of the country.
The goal of the vision is to transform the Nigerian economy to be in the league of the 20 most industrialized countries of the world. Nigeria’s economic potential is well recognized. It is the biggest economy in the West African sub region.
Given the country’s considerable resource endowment and coastal location there is potential for strong growth. Yet Nigeria has realized very little of this potential.
Previous efforts at planning and visioning were not sustained. The history of economic stagnation, declining welfare and social instability, has undermined development for most of the past 30 years.
