Lifecycle assessment has reached an advanced stage. Since its early development in the late 80s, it has gone through various stages of advancement including its standardization in the 1990s and increasing use in various sectors of the economy. Over the years, lifecycle assessment education has been progressively incorporated into the post-secondary engineering and environmental education curriculums in Europe, North America and Asia. However, incorporation of lifecycle assessment education into African and latin American education has not gained the same level of traction as in other regions. This study is an exploratory survey of the level of incorporation of lifecycle assessment education in the Nigerian higher institutions of learning. The study examined a number of Nigerian university curriculums to identify where and how lifecycle assessment education is conducted. Results showed a dismal low level of LCA education in Nigeria. Reasons for such level of education were due to small number of scholars with exposure to LCA among the Nigerian university lecturers, difficult curriculum change process and very low public environmental consciousness.
