摘要：Development planning in Nigeria has suffered from lack of coordination and h armonization of programmes/policies both within the tenure of an administration and those succeeding it. In addition, experience show that this critical task which ought to draw input from critical sectors and be a bottom-up process operates in the reverse. These explain the very poor nature of plan articulation which also negatively affects implementation. The paper is subdivided into: Abstract; Introduction; Conceptual Discourse on Development Planning; History and Trend in Develop ment Planning in Nigeria; Reasons for Development Planning failures in Nigeria; Conclusion and Reco mmendations. It concludes that the bad state of social and physical infrastructure, massive unemployment, widespread poverty and insecurity of lives amo ng others, which successive development plans were targeted at, point to the dismal performance of development. planning initiatives in Nigeria. The paper recommends a multi-sector approach to planning and implementation of public secto r programmes, and harmonization of planning initiatives in order to red uce the problems associated with plan implementation
