- Goal of course is to present and overview the policy and framework on environmental assessment in Nigeria
- Course content includes:
- National Policy on the Environment (NPE) of 1989, revised 1999 and 2016

- The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency Act 2007 (NESREA Act)
- Nigeria's Challenges in Environmental Assessment
- SPESSE Response to address these challenges
Brief Historical Background of EIA in Nigeria
- Environmental consciousness and need for environmental protection in Nigeria arose with the 'Koko Toxic Dump' in Bendel State in 1987
- Led to the creation of the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA) by decree 58 of 1988 (amended by Decree 59 of 1992)
- FEPA created sectoral and procedural guidelines on how to carry out EIA in Nigeria
- FEPA is now absorbed into the Federal Ministry of Environment since 2003
- States were encouraged to establish their own (S)EPA under decree 59 of 1992
Nigeria's EIA Systems
- EIA Decree 86 of 1992 made EIA a legal requirement for all developers of projects
- Department of Petroleum Regulation's (DPR) Environmental Guidelines and Standards (EGAS) of 1991 provides guidelines and monitoring procedures for EIA in the petroleum industry
- The Town and Country Planning Decree 88 of 1992 also made EIA a requirement for estate and property development
- However, EIA implementation in these sectors has not evolved satisfactorily (Ogunba, 2004)
The National Policy of the Environment of 1989, revised in 1999 and 2016
- Policy provides for a national mechanism for cooperation, coordination and regular consultation, and harmonious management of policy within various government tiers
- Aim of the 2016 revision was to create a new holistic framework for managing the country's environment and natural resources for sustainable development
Objectives of the Policy
- Aim is to achieve sustainable development in Nigeria, focusing on securing a quality environment for good health and wellbeing
- Conserve the environment and natural resources for present and future generations
- Raise public awareness and understanding of environmental links to resources, development and encourage participation
The Environmental Impact Assessment Act No. 86, 1992 (FMEnv) (now revised as: EIA Act CapE12 LFN 2004)
- EIA Act made EIA a mandatory process for major development projects from the planning stage to ensure environmental issues are anticipated
- All Agencies (public or private) except exempted must apply to the Federal Ministry of Environment, prior to embarking on projects, allowing for environmental assessment
Objectives of the Act
- Decision making about activities that might affect the environment, by persons and bodies, must consider environmental effects
- Implement policies that align with laws and decisions to realize the goals described in (a)
- Encourage the procedure for information exchange consultation between organs regarding activities with significant environmental effects
Degree of Environmental Significance and Mandatory Activities
- Environmental effects in assessments need to be detailed based on their likely significance
- FMEnv categorizes activities into three categories (I, II, III), based on a list of projects in Schedule 1 of the law
- Category I projects require a full EIA
- Category II projects may only require a partial EIA, focusing on mitigation, unless near a sensitive area
- Category III projects are considered to have 'essentially beneficial impacts' and may not require an EIA
Cases where environmental assessment is required
- Environmental assessment for activities committed by Federal, State or Local government bodies that might significantly impact the environment
Restriction on Public or Private Projects without Environmental Considerations
- No activities should be undertaken without early consideration of environmental effects.
- Activities with significant effects on the environment must undergo assessments
- All agencies/institutions must apply in writing to relevant agency for environmental assessments.
Exceptions to the EIA
- Environmental assessment not required if an agency, with approval from President, the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces or the Council determines that project will have minimal impact
- Not required for emergencies where government has taken temporary measures or where the Agency deems the project critical for public health or safety
The Nigerian EIA Procedures
- A flowchart outlines the steps involved using a systematic format of project proposal/feasibility study.
EIA Process Flowchart
- Detailed flowchart shows steps for submission of project proposals/feasibility studies and the necessary processes through the Federal Ministry of Environment (FMEnv)
- This includes steps for registration, screening, scoping, execution or EIA, review of draft and final reports, and proponent's responsibilities
Consultation with the Public
- The Agency must allow public participation for environmental impact assessments through a process that involves agencies and members of the public, experts from relevant discipline and groups giving feedback
- The Agency must advise the public on its course of action, mitigation plans, the extent of recommendations in a report, and follow-up programs
Disclosure of the Mandatory Report (EIA)
- The Agency must make information related to mandatory study/impact reports available to the public, including the date the report is available, the location for obtaining copies, and the deadline for filing comments
- The report must be released/made available by a mediator or a review panel
Transboundary Effects
- Where a project, not requiring an EIA under a specific section, is likely to cause significant environmental effects outside Nigeria or its federal lands, a review panel may assess its international effects.
Penalties
- Penalties for non-compliance with provisions range from N100,000 (US263)individualfines/imprisonmentuptoN1,000,000(US263) individual fines/imprisonment up to N1,000,000 (US263)individualfines/imprisonmentuptoN1,000,000(US2630).

- Aims to ensure cleaner, healthier environments in Nigeria, promote responsibility
- NESREA's mandate includes the legislation for environmental protection and control
- NESREA is charged with enforcing environmental laws & regulations to enhance the protection of Nigeria's resources
