dc.description.abstractPublic policy is an attempt by government to address a public issue by instituting laws, making decisions, or actions pertinent to the problem at hand. The study assessed the role of policy making and implementation (i.e. as major stages in the policy process) to development in Zaria Local Government, Kaduna State. The target population of the study comprised key staff with insight knowledge of policy making and implementation as it affected the development of the people including Local Government Chairman, Vice Chairman, Secretary, Head of planning, research and statistics Unit, Head of Community Development Unit. The information from interview section was corroborated by secondary data from relevant documents e.g. the project implementation manual (2016-2020). The data generated from the interviewees were thematically analysed. Two propositions were made for the study: Problem identification during policy making is a bold step to enhancing the wellbeing of the citizens in Zaria Local Government, Kaduna State; and bureaucratic discretion is prerequisite to effective policy implementation thereby enhancing the wellbeing of the citizens in Zaria Local Government, Kaduna State. It was concluded after critical analysis of data that no scientific method of selecting relevant deficiencies of the current situation (situation analysis) in Zaria Local Government and that bureaucratic discretion over policy implementation in Zaria Local government is just camouflage as the administrative category (who are the bureaucrats) of the respondents asserted they do not have full power over policies’ implementation. The study recommended among others the need for Zaria Local Government to as a matter of urgency put problem analysis of any situation a priority before making a policy as that will bring out the priority problems and aspirations of the people for the executives of Zaria Local Government to as a matter of fact give discretion to the bureaucracy to implement public policies. They are in the right place to make proper policy/project implementation.
