Keywords:
Nigeria, sustainable management, poverty eradication, Vision 2020Abstract
Nigeria is endowed with abundant human and natural resources, hence, her potential of becoming one the world's prosperous economy cannot be overemphasized. Despite the country's vision of becoming one of the world top 20 largest economies, Nigeria is yet to harness and utilized her endowments to transform her economy. Apparently Vision 2020 goals is not achievable in no distant future. This paper reviewed the level at which Nigeria is in the NV20:2020 plan and suggests measures necessary for the realization of the vision. Nigerian Government should recognise poverty eradication and sustainable management of natural resources as important factors that can propel a nation to the realm of wealthy economy.
