Challenges of Sustainable Environmental Management in Nigeria

Abstract

Against the background of the recognized fact that man’s activities in the environment have impact on the life of human beings, this paper presents an overview of  the factors militating against the achievement of Sustainable Environmental Management in Nigeria  making use of  historical survey approach. The paper notes that Sustainable Environmental Management is far from being achieved in Nigeria and that the activities of man still degrade the environment.  The country can only be sustainably developed if it can pay attention to environmental sanitation and conservation.. However, the major hindrance to this was traced to poor funding; the paper concludes by suggesting possible sources of sustainable fund for the country to move forward.
