ABSTRACT:
This study titled food management control and field bureaucrats policy implementation in Kwara state Nigeria national agency for food and drugs administration and control. The aim of this study is to analyse the activities of field level bureaucrats to describe how they act to overcome barriers that affect policy implementations on food management control in Kwara state Nigeria. While most policies rely on field level bureaucrats for their implementation, there is still a lack of empirical studies maximally that provide an adequate understanding of how field bureaucrats can overcome the barriers, delays, and disincentives associated with implementing policies on food management control. For this reason the study decided to examine how field level bureaucrats are influenced by barriers and how the influences from the barriers affect their work – policy implementation on food management. Documentary research was used in this study, of which qualitative approach was used in sources of data. The study adopted elite theory. Data were analysed using documentary records. The findings of the study indicated that there were no significant relationships between food management control and field bureaucrats’ policy implementation in Kwara state, Nigeria national agency for food and drugs administration and control. Furthermore, rank effects of the results were barriers that provide most issues that influence the work of field bureaucrats in policy implementation of food management in Kwara state. The results of the research shows that field bureaucrats are more respond to barriers by adopting a flexible role, which means, simplification of the policy implementation process, and this were influenced by time pressure than other forms of barriers. The study thereby recommends that attention should be paid to the behaviour of field bureaucrats on duties, in such a way as to ensure that policy behaviour are well implemented for food management control care, so as to ensure more positive outcomes of its kind.
