Section 1: Executive Summary

The Operational / Implementation Tools (2025–2030) document provides practical planning, management, and accountability instruments to deliver the Made in Nigeria Project Office agenda. This toolkit translates strategy into action through:

• Action Plan (2025–2030)

• Annual Work Plan (Year 1 – 2026)

• Monitoring & Evaluation (M&E) Framework

• Project Reporting Templates

• Risk Management Matrix

• Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Framework

Purpose and Importance

Nigeria is endowed with fertile agricultural land, solid mineral deposits, and a vibrant SME ecosystem. However, leveraging these assets into jobs, value-added production, and investments requires coordinated interventions. These operational tools will ensure the Project Office executes programs efficiently, attracts and manages partnerships, measures impact, mitigates risk, and maintains transparency and accountability to the SGF and national leadership.

   • Phased initiatives, KPIs, institutional responsibilities, and indicative budgets

2. Annual Work Plan (Year 1 – 2026):

   • Quarter-by-quarter activities, timelines, budgets, deliverables, and assigned leads

3. M&E Framework:

5. Risk Management Matrix:

Section 3: Introduction

Background and Context

The Made in Nigeria Project is a strategic national initiative aimed at promoting self-reliance, economic diversification, and national competitiveness by prioritizing local production and consumption. It aligns with Nigeria’s broader industrial and innovation policies, emphasizing industrialization, job creation, and value chain development as drivers of sustainable economic growth.

The establishment of the Made in Nigeria Project Office under the leadership of Hon. Nwabueze Buchi George institutionalizes a results-driven approach to local production enhancement and national brand development.

Rationale for the Document

While strategic direction is set nationally, operational effectiveness depends on robust structures, systems, and tools for successful implementation across sectors. This document:

• Establishes operational clarity for the Project Office

• Provides a roadmap for program implementation, coordination, and stakeholder engagement

• Ensures alignment with national goals

• Creates standardized reporting, M&E systems, and accountability

• Builds institutional capacity for sustained implementation beyond the initial project cycle
