urbanization. However, as the 60s came was the increased craving for industrialization? Consequently, there was an international recognition for the need of an institutional framework that would guide the process of protecting environment. This gave birth to United Nations Conference on the Human Environment of 1972.
Nigeria, being a strong force among developing countries, took a diplomatic decision by being part of the Stockholm Declaration. Nevertheless, the declaration and its action plans weren’t enforced in the country. Though, environmental sanitation laws were enforced in the country to see to good sanitation.
It’s one thing to enact law, it’s another thing to enforce law. Looking at the enforcement of environmental laws in Nigeria, one will agree that the “Nigerian factor” has actually affected it. Lack of political will by the government is one thing, corruption that enables environmental polluters get away from their crimes is another thing.
Quite recently, there was a report made by Adefemi Akinsanya of Arise TV which also shows how marine plastic litter is contributing largely to environmental pollution in Lagos. Sachet water waste, bottle water waste are one of the top polluters of marine and aquatic life in Lagos. Instead of looking at ways in curbing these pollutions, we’re rather working on recycling the waste. Prevention is better than cure, in this case we’re not even curing what we’ve failed to prevent.
