Overview

The National Development Plan (NDP) 2021-2025 is Nigeria's medium-term blueprint for sustainable, inclusive national development, succeeding the Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) 2017-2020. Developed through inclusive consultation with private sector, sub-national governments, and civil society, the plan adopts an integrated multi-sectoral approach aligned with Nigeria Agenda 2050. Strategic objectives include diversifying the economy, investing in physical, financial, science and innovation infrastructure, strengthening security and good governance, and enabling a healthy, educated populace. Priority sectors with high job creation potential include power, alternative energy, rail, roads, and housing. Targets by 2025: average economic growth of 4.6%, lifting 35 million out of poverty, creating 21 million full-time jobs, and raising revenue-to-GDP ratio to 15%. Total investment required is N348.1 trillion: N49.7 trillion from government (federal, state, LGA) and N298.3 trillion from private sector. Implementation will be overseen by a strengthened Development Plan Implementation Unit and National Monitoring and Evaluation system.
