Science Curriculum has had some constraints in its implementation rights from the time education came to
Nigeria. This was associated with the foreign nature of the subject, its abstractness and lack of instructional
materials. The traditional beliefs of the people and medium of instruction also has not been left out in the
hindrances to the effective implementation. This paper therefore looked at the frend of science curriculum
implementation in the pre and post colonial days; most especially in the new millennium pointing out the
problems associated with the implementation. Recommendations were also proffered with the aim of
achieving a successful and effective science curriculum implementation in Nigeria.
