Abstract: The stringent economic climate around the world today is spurring a rethink in favour of productivity-driven growth as a more viable means for economic recovery and sustainable development among nations. As a part of strategies to enhance production across sectors in Nigeria, the National Productivity Movement emerged as a viable tool for achieving sustainable development. The paper explores NPM’s relevance in the current difficult economic conditions and its role in driving recovery, sustainable growth, and development. The Paper argued that with all-inclusive stakeholders, productivity is a viable way for Nigeria’s economic recovery, sustainable growth and development. It adopted a qualitative research design and case study approach. Secondary sources were used to collect data. Endogenous Growth Theory was adopted as a theoretical framework for explanation. The theory underscores the importance and the role of internal factors such as human capital, innovation, and improved productivity in driving long-term economic growth and sustainable development rather than more reliance on natural resources and external factors. Findings showed that Nigeria has continuously executed different development plans towards achieving productivity without achieving its targets. Successive regimes have embarked on different economic blueprints because they believed that the previous plans did not achieve the expected goals.
