As
stated by Ugwuanyi and Chukwuemeka (2013) implementation of public
policies in Nigeria often turns out to be the graveyard of it where the
intentions of the designer of policies are often undermined by a
constellation of powerful forces of politics and administration in
cooperation with people. Little attention is paid to the subject of
policy implementation by policy decision makers while it is often taken
for granted that once a policy is adopted by government it must be
implemented and the desired goals achieved.
Onibokun (1987) says
community development is faced with the paradox of production oriented
rural economy which relies heavily on farmers who use non-productive and
outdated tools, technical information, scientific and cultural training
and whose traditional roles and access to resources pose problems for
their effective incorporation into modern economic systems.
Despite
efforts made in the past to effect development at the community level,
the conditions of rural dwellers have not improved, rather they have
further deteriorated. It is not clear how public policy can help arrest
this ugly situation. It is against this background that this study
examines the Effect of Public Policy Implementation on Community
Development in Nigeria with a special reference to Ojo LGA.
