Nigeria's environmental laws are robust but enforcement remains a challenge, particularly for corporate entities. A comparative study involving legal analyses and interviews with stakeholders from various sectors. Corporate compliance rates were found to be around 50% across different industries, with significant variations between urban and rural areas. There is a need for enhanced regulatory oversight and enforcement mechanisms to improve environmental law compliance and enforcement in Nigeria. Strengthening legal frameworks, increasing public awareness campaigns, and improving inspection procedures are recommended.
