Abstract
Nigeria accepted to use economic growth and development plan as a suitable strategy to quicken the pace of economic growth, and improve the standard of living of the citizens since 1946 till date. This study assesses Nigeria economic development plans with a view to x-raying the success or otherwise of the plans implemented, and suggest the best ways to implement development plans. The study reveals that successive Nigeria governments failed to fully implement their development plans due to some challenges that bedeviled the various plans. Such challenges include: corruption, lack of commitment and political-will, lack of grassroot participation in plan formulation and implementation, lack of project monitoring, etc. The study therefore recommends that Nigeria needs to redouble her efforts in fighting corruption. Development planning exercise should ensure grassroot participation. Political leaders should have compulsory and routine project monitoring on all government approved projects, etc.
