People's confidence in policies ofgovernment no doubt, serves as a cata
lyst for national development in any society because of their support for
such policies at implementation. Where crisis of confidence in polices of
government emanate, it becomes a serious problem because without the support
of the people, no matter how good intentioned policies and programmes of
government may be, it cannot achieve its goals. and development is hindered in
that society. This paper therefore analysed the causes of crisis of confidence in
government polices in Nigeria. The Z- test population proportion (two samples)
with a 95% confidence level was used for the analysis. The study showed that
for development to take place in any society, so that the implementation of such
policies that has the ability of enhancing the living standard of the people can
materialise. Government therefore, must take into consideration the reactions
of the people when formulating a policy. When this is done, it will enhance the
support of the people for government policies.
