Abstract
This paper discussed system failure in Nigeria and how effective policy monitoring and value reorientation could help solve this problem. A brief examination of Nigerian and African traditional education was done to establish its relevance in times like this. It identified some of the systems such as education, the Nigeria Police Force, Power Holding Company of Nigeria, Nigeria Telecommunication, transport sector, and the health sector; and their level of decay. It then suggested the importance of effective monitoring of educational policies at the level of implementation and reorientation of the citizenry towards embracing positive values in our culture and traditional education.
