Why Nigeria is not yet Sustainably Developed

Against the background of the recognized fact that man's activities in the environment have impact on the life of human beings, this paper presents an overview of the factors militating against the achievement of Sustainable Environmental Management in Nigeria making use of both Secondary data and personal observations.The paper notes that Sustainable Environmental Management is far from being achieved in Nigeria because the activities of man still degrade the environment. The country can only be sustainably developed if it can pay attention to environmental sanitation and conservation. However, the hindrances to this were traced to poor funding, environmental management seen as the responsibility of government and non inclusion of environmental management in national development plan. The paper concludes by suggesting possible sources of sustainable fund for the country to move forward.
