Abstract

The laws governing waste  management in Nigeria were investigated in this paper. For Nigeria’s long-term development, waste management is critical. Waste management has been a reoccurring decimal in Nigeria without a solution. What are the possible causes of Nigeria’s ineffective waste management? There is a lack of enforcement of laws governing waste management in Nigeria, owing to inadequacies in the several environmental legislations on waste management in Nigeria. This paper suggests that effective waste management laws  should be based on both the availability of enforcement provisions and the political and/or administrative will to implement them.
