Abstract: Nigeria belongs to the group of Next Eleven (N-11), which is a group of 11 countries identified by the investment bank Goldman Sachs in 2007 as having high potential of becoming the world’s largest economies in the 21st century. There is a need to determine how it can attain economic growth while conserving energy and reducing emission. This paper looks at the relationship between GDP and CO2 emission in the light of the Environmental Kuznet Curve (EKC). The method of least square polynomials was employed. The results obtained aligned with the EKC hypothesis.
