Nigeria Implements Policies Abysmally – Simon Lalong

Plateau State Governor, Simon Lalong has come out to say that Nigeria implements policies abysmally.

He recently revealed this while speaking at the inauguration of Senior Executives Course, SEC, 43 of the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, NIPSS, Kuru, Plateau state.

According to him, even if several amazing policies have been formulated in different sectors and by different administrations; only a few of them had been implemented effectively.

He added that those in charge should learn to devote their time to carry out research into how the nation can break away from the situation of policy summersault.

His words, “We must look at the larger picture in implementing policies that impact the lives of our people today and in the future. Examples are all over the world for us to learn from. It is an incontestable fact that over the years in Nigeria, numerous brilliant policies have been formulated in different sectors and by different administrations.”

“However, the paradox is that only a fraction of these numerous policies are implemented with many of them jettisoned, abysmally carried out or left to gather dust on shelves. This has led to a lot of distortions in the process of nation-building where many policies have to be re-casted all over again, implemented half-way or entirely abandoned.In the process, the nation incurs enormous losses in terms of wasted resources, manpower and valuable time.”
