The Principles of Nigerian Environmental Law is a
complete, comparative and international handbook on the fundamental
principles governing the protection, conservation and sustainable
utilization of the environment in Nigeria.

It takes a comparative and international approach in analyzing
and discussing the peculiar approaches and tool-boxes for
environmental protection in Nigeria. Starting with a theoretical
and jurisprudential examination of the term ‘environment’; an
examination of the schools of thoughts and emerging paradigms in
international environmental regulations, and the history and
sources of Nigeria’s environmental law; it presents an exhaustive
overview of the foundations upon which the current elaborate
structure of environmental law in Nigeria has been built.

The book then moves to discuss the nature and scope of laws
designed to regulate specific environmental problems in Nigeria
such as water pollution, air pollution, marine pollution, oil
spillage, gas flaring, climate change, stratospheric depletion of
the ozone layer and transboundary movement of hazardous wastes.

The book provides environmental stakeholders from all
backgrounds including students, administrators, lawyers, government
representatives, judges, analysts and pundits, a ready tool to
digest, assimilate, understand and appreciate the legal and
institutional framework for environmental regulation and protection
in Nigeria.

For anyone interested in learning about the importance of law in
the protection of the environment, this book would be your finest
companion.
