Planning
Adesina (1990) defines planning as “a way of projecting our intentions, that
is, a method of deciding what we want to accomplish”.
Ejiogo (1990) holds that “to plan, means of project, forecast, design or
make or chart our course”.
From these views, it can be summarized that “PLANNING refers to the act
of deciding in advance what is to be done, how and when to do it, where
and who is to do it in order to achieve the goals or objectives of the
system”
Plan
Is a detailed scheme, programme or method worked out before hand for
the purpose of achieving a set of objectives. There are three basic elements
in a plan, it deals with the FUTURE involves ACTION and identifies WHO IS
TO IMPLEMENT the future action.
Planning bridges the gap between where we are and where we want to be.

needs.

Planning

relevance, and resources.

Plan Formation
It is based on the results of the diagnosis and the planning, to
highlight, analyze the problems and propose steps and policies for solving
and overcoming them.

Plan Elaboration
It is concerned with details of objectives, resources, procedures, for
execution and implementation.

Plan Implementation
It concerns the form of budgeting, the management process,
execution organization framework and monitoring and supervision
network.

summative evaluation of progress of the plan to determine when it is to be
revised, completed or terminated.
