Abstract

This paper assessed environmental protection for sustainable development in Nigeria. It is a well-known fact that across the globe, there is a penchant to initiate policies and programmes that can protect the environment, and at the same time, engender sustainable development, given that a sustainable environment is the foundation of every meaningful development. Data for the study were drawn from published materials and Key Informant Interview (KII). The interviewees were made up of environmental activists and members of civil society organisations. Data for the study were analysed through content analysis, with attention to logical sequence of data. The study found that even though Nigeria parades a good number of environmental protection laws and policies, the challenge remains that there is little or no conscious effort at development, let alone sustainable development. The study recommended, among other things, the need for collective action towards sustainable development.
