The reform programme was encapsulated in the National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (NEEDS).
It focused on four main areas. These were: improving Nigeria’s macroeconomic environment; pursuing structural reforms; strengthening public expenditure management; and implementing institutional and governance reforms. Implementing the EITI in Nigeria by establishing the NEITI was part of the institutional and governance reforms.

The NEITI is the Nigerian national sub-set of the global EITI.
