The study confirms the Environmental Kuznets Curve hypothesis applies to the Nigerian economy, highlighting an inverted-U relationship between GDP and carbon dioxide emissions.
Utilizing quarterly time series data from 1992 to 2024, the study employed vector error correction modeling to analyze economic growth impacts on pollution.
High levels of economic activity initially increase carbon dioxide emissions, decreasing environmental quality, but eventually lead to improved environmental outcomes as the economy advances.
The findings suggest policy options are needed to ensure sustainable growth in Nigeria without compromising environmental quality.
