Documentary abstract — original language

Environmental degradation has increasingly plagued the human and natural environment especially since the discovery of petroleum in Nigeria. The right to a clean and healthy environment although provided for in the Constitution has been seen to be non-justiciable except by alternative pathways such as in reference to the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) or in a foreign court. It is also a fact that environmental pollution cases have been lost due to technicalities. This has emboldened some petroleum sector operators to continue in bad environmental practices. Hence the need for alternative ways to combat environmental degradation from bad environmental practices such as the recognition of the rights of nature.
