PLANNING
During the formation of the fifth
plan, a major innovation in planning strategy in Nigeria was introduces. It was
felt that limiting the life span of development plans to five years had not
allowed for long-term view of the problem of the country, therefore, government
decide on a 20-year perspective plan for the period of 1998-2008. Thus, the
first phase of the perspective plan would constitute the fifth national
development plan.
The perspective plan is expected
to put in place a solid base for the long-term development of the economy
especially with respect to some key sectors namely; agriculture, manufacturing
mining, education, transport and utilities and energy.
