The study focuses on the practical measures implemented under the Naira redesign policy in Nigeria; that is, the Operations Management and Quality Control aspects and what was learned from each implementation phase. It also highlights the means taken; the problems encountered and the proffered suggestions on the best way to solve other policies’ problems. An action research analysis is taken from a policy implementation perspective. The analysis is based on the practical aspects of the study such as the operation strategies, quality control policy, and their implementation problems. The qualitative research methodology is divided into two other activities. The first one is the practical analysis of the matter, and the second is an estimate of the retreat from the policy development theory to its realization. The research comes to the conclusion that policy implementation is, in practice, more complicated than it looked on paper. Specifically, the case studies in which efforts had been made to be in accordance with existing operational policies and low-quality policies revealed that the implementation of the policy had faced all sorts of challenges. The study identified the problems and measures taken to solve the problems, and from the perspective of our research, the retreat of the theory of politics to practice is already a lesson for best implementation. The research is valuable in certain respects. The distinction between policy development theory and politics’ implementation is that the re design of Naira is observed under practical issues. It shows how better can policy provision be implemented and gives recommendations. Conversely, research on the implementation of political policies improves the scrutiny of their implementation practices.
