Nigeria's Dr. Uzoka-Anite Leads Finalization of NDP 2026-2030

Stakeholders gathered to review and finalize the National Development Plan (NDP) 2026-2030, which aligns with Nigeria Agenda 2050 and aims to establish a US $1 trillion economy by 2030. Dr. Doris Uzoka-Anite, the Minister of State for Budget and Economic Planning, stated that the draft document is designed to be coherent, evidence-based, measurable, and ready for implementation.

The NDP 2026-2030 is intended to improve upon the previous NDP 2021-2025 by incorporating credible baselines, realistic projections, and clearly identified policies. Dr. Uzoka-Anite acknowledged the current economic and social challenges but stressed the importance of identifying constraints to growth and development.

The plan is organized around seven growth pillars, including macro-economic stability, resource mobilization, economic diversification, and human capital development. She urged stakeholders to utilize the Renewed Hope Ward-Based Development Framework Survey to address grassroots economic realities and local development priorities.
