Pollution
from oil related activities in the mangrove areas of
Nigeria. |
|
The
examples in some states like Anambra and Edo where homes
and farms are being lost as a result of gullies,
underscores the seriousness of the dangers of the
environmental menace to the people.
Overcoming gully erosion demands a staggering and
consistent financial commitments that cannot be
shouldered by governments alone.

Flooding, drought and
desertification, heat stress, disease/epidemics,
declining soil fertility and conflicts are among the
major environmental and climate change impacts in
the savannah region of Nigeria.
Climate change mitigation
and adaptation programmes are necessary in addressing
these impacts and stabilizing the environment for
sustained socio-economic growth. |
|
Overcoming or minimizing the problem of oil pollution
demands proper enforcement of environmental laws and
good legislations.
There is also the need for
improved security surveillance to control the activities
of oil pipeline vandals. |
