Abstract
This research paper investigated the influence of policy implementation on entrepreneurial success and national development with the aim of ascertaining the exact nature of the influence of policy implementation on entrepreneurial success and national development in Nigeria.

The study therefore concludes that 70% of government policies in Nigeria are never implemented effectively, which has crippled the wheels of national development and negatively affected entrepreneurial success. The study observed that private sector businesses and entrepreneurial activities wil
