It was designed to evaluate time management operation as well as utilization in policy decisions formulation and implementation in Nigeria, examine strategic time management utilization in Nigeria’s spheres of endeavour, investigate alternative time management utilization in Nigeria’s trends of expenditure and identify the challenges of time management in Nigeria and suggest relevant solutions. The research work made use of secondary data since it was an explorative research work, and it was revealed that human and material resources must be used at all times to meet set plans and programmes given time allotted. Wastages, lapses, failures and carry-overs should be avoided to reduce cost and ensure time and resources maximization at all times. It was concluded that Nigeria must embrace strategic time management as an important tool in their quest for economic growth and development and recommendation was made to ensure time utilization and planning to meet set goals and objectives given the available resources.
