The National Planning Commission (NPC) said that the Transformation Agenda did not belong to any political party.

The Head of Information of NPC, Mr Salisu
Badamasi, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN)
on Sunday that the Transformation Agenda was an
aspect of the Vision 20:2020.

NAN reports that the Transformation Agenda was
popularly identified with the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) administration of immediate past
President Goodluck Jonathan.

Badamasi, however, said that when Jonathan came
into office, he identified the Vision 20:2020 and
focused on them.

He said that the four areas of focus of the
Transformation Agenda were governance, human
capital development, infrastructure and real sector.

According to him, President Muhammadu Buhari’s
administration will also continue to implement the
master plan for Nigeria’s economic development.
He added that “the Agenda is based on and draws
its inspiration from the Vision 20:2020 and has
three National Implementation Plan (NIP)
arrangements.

“The First NIP, which was from 2010 to 2013, had
been implemented and reviewed by the commission
and stakeholders.

“It was aimed at bridging the infrastructure gap in
the country and optimise the sources of economic
growth to increase productivity and
competitiveness.

“It focused on knowledge-based economy to
deepen the technology base of the country, improve
governance, security, law and order.

“Also, it fostered accelerated, sustainable social
and economic development in a competitive
business environment.’’

The NPC spokesman further explained that the
second plan, which started in 2014, would be
ending in 2017, while the third phase of the Plan
would be between 2018 and 2020.

Badamasi said that the NIP was generally based on
a set of priority policies and programmes, which
when implemented, would transform the Nigerian
economy to meet the future needs of the Nigerian
people.

He also explained that the Plan captured all the
development agenda of the country, including the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The official pointed out that the Vision 20:2020
defined and articulated the collective aspirations of
the Nigerian people to become one of the top 20
economies in the world by the year 2020.

“At the strategic level, it seeks to focus on,
mobilise and coordinate the optimal application of
Nigeria’s human and financial resources.

“It focuses on human and financial resources
toward the singular goal of providing accelerated
human security, economic growth and social
development in the country.

“While opinions may vary regarding Nigeria’s ability
to achieve these goals, most statistical indicators
remain positive that vision 20:2020 is achievable.’’
NAN reports that NPC as the agency of Federal
Government is saddled with the responsibility of
developing the Vision 20:2020.

The Commission has the statutory responsibility of
coordinating social and economic development
policies of the country. (NAN)

We have to blame media for some o this, the topic is misleading... it should have read "Transformation Agenda Belongs To No Political Party" but instead targeted GEJ and PDP.
