      ab: This study is aimed at evaluating the extent of management policies promulgated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (N&MCN) on the general nursing education being implemented in the various schools of nursing in Nigeria. Seven research questions and seven null hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Reviewed literature on evaluation of school programmes implementation showed discrepancy between programme stipulations and programme implementation. Evaluation survey research design was employed for the study. The population was made up of 70 principals of the 70 schools of nursing in Nigeria. All the members of the population were included in the study. Observation and interview were used to collect data. Chi square test of independence and t-test for non-correlated data were inferential statistical procedures used for appraising policy implementation as influenced by ownership and location. Findings showed that ownership and location are rarely variables affecting the implementation of management policies on general nursing education in Nigeria; rather, many of the variations were internal, that is, arising from the management itself. These findings suggest that there is a need for more frequent but objective monitoring of the study cohort and evolving strategies to ensure that these school principals strictly adhere to the programme policy for general nursing education.
