Abstract

This study interrogates the constituency project implementation in Nigeria during the 8th National Assembly. It critically appraises the impacts of constituency projects on the quality of life of average citizens in Nigeria during the period under review. The research method adopted is qualitative techniques of data collection and interpretation through the content analysis of information obtained from government documents. The findings of the study reveal that constituency project implementation in Nigeria during the 8th National Assembly has contributed meaningfully towards the improvement in the quality of life of average Nigerians in some sections of the country. However, the success stories recorded could have been holistic if project implementation is devoid of corruption, embezzlement, inflation of contract award, use of substandard materials, and diversion of funds. Therefore, the study recommended that there is a need for collaboration between the legislature and the people residing in each constituency to synergize their efforts towards achieving inclusive development. Above all, the legislature should stick to its traditional responsibilities of lawmaking and oversight functions while the executive arm of government should focus on project implementation strictly.
