Abstract
Nigeria had choose to embark on various reforms, policies, visions and strategic development programmes and plans, all channeled towards achieving a developed country. Seven point agenda in recent years and a considerable numbers of expeditions. Our government had conceived the vision 2020, which is aimed at giving Nigerian a chance to be one of the first 20 countries in global economics by 2020 and beyond.
This study used the critical research method to compare and analyze development indicators for Nigerian alongside the advanced countries, which Nigeria aspire to join.
On the contrary, the situation in high-income nations, a large number of Nigerians are having accommodation problems, feeding problem, some are uneducated, lacked the ability to behold clothing material, poor housing, sojourn in rural areas, undermined with massive underdevelopment. Abject poverty contributes to the lesser development of a country.
Nigeria’s vision can’t be said to be too forward or ambitious, if practical steps and pragmatic programs beside thorough supervision are put in place, stepping out of its lack of good leadership, poor management of resources and financial misappropriation.
Recommendations include; reduction in overdependence in one means of generating income, commitment and restructuring of leadership to sufficient disciple via political will to enforce programmes which are realistic.
