Introduction to NEEDS (National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy):

NEEDS is a comprehensive development plan launched by the Nigerian government in 2004. It was formulated in response to the need for sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction, and socio-economic development in Nigeria. The strategy aimed to address the country's developmental challenges and achieve broad-based improvements in living standards.
