Study Notes
Executive Short Term Course in Environmental Assessment Practitioners
- The course covers the policy, legal, and regulatory framework for environmental assessment in Nigeria.
- The course content includes the National Policy on the Environment (NPE) of 1989, revised in 1999 and 2016.
- The Environment Impact Assessment Act No. 86 of 1992, revised in 2004 (now the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Act, Cap E12, LFN 2004).
- The National Guidelines and Standards for Environmental Pollution Control in Nigeria of 1991, NEP Regulations (Pollution abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste), the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency Act 2007 (NESREA Act), and Nigeria's challenges in environmental assessment.
Brief Historical Background of EIA in Nigeria
- Environmental concerns arose in Nigeria in 1987, following the "Koko Toxic Dump" in Bendel State.
- The Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) was created by decree 58 of 1988 (amended by decree 59 of 1992).
- FEPA produced sectoral and procedural guidelines to carry out Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) in Nigeria.
- FEPA was absorbed into the Federal Ministry of Environment in 2003.
- States were encouraged to create their own Environmental Protection Agencies (SEPA) under decree 59 of 1992.
Nigeria's EIA Systems
- The EIA Decree 86 of 1992 made EIA a legal requirement for all developers of projects likely to harm the environment.
- The Department of Petroleum Regulation's (DPR) Environmental Guidelines and Standards (EGAS) of 1991 provided guidelines, standards, and monitoring procedures for mandatory EIA in the petroleum industry.
- The Town and Country Planning Decree 88 of 1992 also mandated EIA for estate and property development.
The National Policy on Environment of 1989 (and revisions)
- The 1989 policy (revised 1999 and 2016), sought to create a national framework for cooperation, coordination, and consultation in environmental policy and implementation.
