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.

Consequently, this has left a hole or missing piece in Nigeria's system for developing and implementing public policy.

In this process, civil society organizations, professional associations, the organized business sector, and nonprofit organizations are all totally disregarded. The numerous wonderful policies that have been developed throughout the years by the various governments in the areas of social security, unemployment, poverty reduction, health, and education are just a few examples. 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
