National Economic Emancipation and Development Strategy (NEEDS) is government response to the fight against poverty, hunger and underdevelopment in Nigeria from the federal level to the local level. This strategy provides a well-articulated blue print that has helped governments drive home their efforts towards sustainable and national development. But, unfortunately, this programme has not thrived the way it was planned; from the federal, state and to the local level, owing to some political, economic and social problems. The objective of this study is to critically phantom those impediments to the smooth running of this programme and proffer workable solutions that would further institute the programme and make it functional. The development theory anchored on the sociological and anthropological modernization theory was used in analysing the work. The significance of this study is that it has outlined solutions for countries whose economic state are in recession and it equally answered the question nations ask on how to model reforms to meet the contemporary economies. This paper presents a balanced analysis on the activities of NEEDS in the country and recommends for the Nigerian government to take decisive action in implementing the objectives of this programme while calling on the National Assembly to initiate and pass enabling laws that would institutionalize the programme with penalties for offenders.
