Abstract
The New Millennium plan is packaged as master plan, against this background, the package
would have been packaged as development plan as there cannot be a master plan in a master
plan since there is a master plan for Kaduna metropolis. As such this study will address the
New Millennium Development Plan as Master Plan as prepared and package. Plan
implementation ensures the successful delivery of the benefits of planning and urban
management. In Nigeria, master plan implementation suffers setbacks due to several factors.
The New Millennium City in Kaduna metropolis is an example of a government client project
which exhibits evidence of a number of setbacks in its plan implementation. The assessment
of the master plan implementation of the New Millennium City was based on the physical
survey on site, interview of the stakeholders, picture capture of the area, records collected
from the stakeholders and developing an assessment chart. Percentage score formula was
used to calculate the performance of each physical development component (housing,
hospital, infrastructure etc) with the rating scale developed. Housing and medical facilities
are about 77.3% and 75% implementation with rating of excellent performance while other
plan components score below 30% with a rating of poor performance. From the study it
appears that economic factor is the main factor responsibly for the poor implementation of
the New Millennium City Plan. It is a determinant for other factors such as political,
administrative, legal and technical. One of the recommendations was that a sound operational
project guideline plan should be provided and carefully studied for any proposed project like
the New Millennium City, Kaduna for its success.
