The Administrative Reforms Experience in Nigeria

The paper examined the various administrative reforms in Nigeria and identified the factors affecting the implementation of reforms. These were with a view to providing insight into why the reforms are not yielding the required results. Primary and secondary sources of data collection were utilized for the study. The results showed that about 24 administrative reforms have been implemented in Nigeria. The results revealed that factors such as bribery and corruption (99%); the concept of federal character (69%); insecurity (94%); and the discipline of execution (98%) affected the implementation of administrative reforms in Nigeria. The study concluded that the problem with reform is not in the theory but in the lack of attention to reform implementation.
