Development plans in Nigeria have deviated from their targets due to political instability. Political instability has been a major factor affecting the success of development plans in Nigeria. The frequent changes in government policies, coups, and the lack of consistency in economic policies have affected the effective implementation of development plans. Political instability leads to uncertainties which make it difficult for investors to make long-term investments in the country. This has led to the stunted growth of various sectors of the economy, which in turn has resulted in the deviation from the targets set in development plans.
