To the developing nations, development remains vital, and most government policies are geared towards improving the development level. As a developing nation, Nigeria, in an attempt to meet the million development goals, came up with NEEDS at the federal level, SEEDS at the state level, and LEEDS at the local government levels. In line with the national policy framework, the Akwa Ibom State government set up committees in all the Local Governments to bring up a local government development blueprint using the national and state framework for the local government areas. This paper seeks to assess the implementation of this policy framework in Akwa Ibom State. From the different sectors, health and education sectors were used for the study. The theoretical framework adopted for this study is the implementation theory. Data for the study were sourced from primary and secondary sources. Three local government Areas were randomly selected for the study. The finding indicates that there is a problem of continuity with some government policies. Also, the continuous operation of local government joint accounts, among others, affected the implementation of the policy. Accordingly, it recommended that local governments be granted autonomy so that they will not be an appendage of the state government, and effort should be made to encourage continuity in Government.
