Challenges of Eco-Sustainability Campaign and Environmentalism in Nigeria: The Way Forward

Abstract

The effects of Climate change alongside its attendant environmental issues have become glaring and
devastating in Nigeria. Is it to talk about the incidence of flood that have cataclysmically wrecked several
states in the Country, the massive loss of lives and property, or the increased York of poverty and
destitution that have befallen thousands of people as a result of climate change? Good enough, there has
been eco-sustainability campaigns and environmentalism in the country. These campaigns aim at
stabilizing the earth’s eco systems while encouraging environmental sustainability. Beyond this challenge
already posed by the phenomenon of climate change, this Paper seeks to discuss the external challenges
militating against efficient eco-sustainability campaigns in the Country. The rueful lack of fund, facilities,
adequate environmental Training and the menace of corruption, high insecurity, poverty and poorly
regulated population growth, have been found to be these challenges. The Paper however, recommends
concerted efforts from both the government and other stakeholders, in order to successfully combat climate
change and its effects in the Country.
