Brief Historical Background of EIA in Nigeria
- Environmental consciousness and need for environmental protection.
- 'Koko Toxic Dump' in the then 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 produced sectoral and procedural guidelines for carrying out EIA in Nigeria
- FEPA is now absorbed into the Federal Ministry of Environment since its creation in 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 projects that could harm the environment
- Department of Petroleum Regulation's (DPR) Environmental Guidelines and Standards (EGAS) of 1991
- Town and Country Planning Decree 88 of 1992 also made EIA a requirement for estate and property development
The National Policy of the Environment of 1989, revised in 1999 and 2016
- National Policy on Environment (1989, revised 1999 and 2016) provides a viable national mechanism for cooperation, coordination and regular consultation for harmonious management of the policy formulation and implementation process
- 2016 revision defined a holistic framework for the management of the environment and natural resources for sustainable development in the country
Objectives of the Policy
- Secure a quality environment adequate for good health and well being
- Conserve the environment and natural resources for the present and future
- Raise public awareness and promote understanding of the essential linkages between the environment and development
- Restore, maintain and enhance ecosystems and ecological processes
- Co-operate with other countries, international organizations, and agencies to effectively prevent trans-boundary environmental degradation
The Environmental Impact Assessment Act No. 86, 1992 (FMEnv)
- EIA Act (now revised as EIA Act CapE12 LFN 2004) is mandatory for all projects.
- EIA process applied to all major development projects throughout the planning stage
- All agencies and institutions (public and private) except those exempted by the Act, must apply to the Federal Ministry of Environment before embarking on any project.

Objectives of the Act
- Decision taken before the undertaking of any activity likely to affect the environment
- Implementation of consistent policy for Federal, State, and Local Government areas
- Encouragement of information exchange, notification, and consultation between different bodies in any activity
Degree of Environmental Significance and Mandatory Activities
- Environmental effects are assessed with a degree of detail commensurate to the significance.
- Mandatory study categories:
- Category I projects require a full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)
- Category II projects may only need a partial EIA, focusing on mitigation.
- Category III projects have essentially beneficial impacts
Cases where environmental assessment is required
- The proponent of the project
- Doing an act or thing that commits the government to carrying out a project
- Making payment or providing financial assistance for a project
- Disposing of or testing lands for enabling a project
- Granting approval or taking action to enable a project
Restriction on public or private projects without prior consideration of the environmental impact
- Public or private sector cannot begin projects without considering their environmental effects at an early stage
- Projects likely to affect the environment require a proper environmental impact assessment (EIA)
