Abstract: Drawing from secondary data, the paper shows that the indices of human development index(HDI), poverty alleviation index (PAI), education index(EI) and health care index(HCI) are more essentials judging from the 13 principles of sustainable development. The study aim is to examine human perception of environment and sustainable development, to ascertain the attitude of human’s toward sustainable development and to determine the level of governance on sustainable development in Nigeria. The methodology is a combination of experimental survey on content analysis of articles from literatures on development and sustainable development. A projection of 0.03%, from 2006 population census from was considered, NBS (2016). Likewise, a projection of 0.05% index of 2018 on HDI, PAI, HCI and EI was derived from 2008-2009 calculated value. The result shows that eleven (11) states in Nigeria including Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja have a higher human development index (knowledge, income and health) above the benchmark of 0.513. Five 5 states including FCT, Abuja have GDP per capita higher than the National GDP. Five 5 States have a higher GDP Index of per capitathan the National GDP Benchmark of $1,156.82. North-Central and South-East have the highest and lowest poverty index in term of geo-political zones. Ten (10) states from the northern region have higher poverty index in Nigeria. Fourteen (I4) states including FCT, Abuja have higher life expectancy index than the benchmark of 50 years while eleven (I1) states including FCT have higher education index than the benchmark of 0.712. The result shows that there is a positive correlation of population growth and development in states and geo-political zones of the indices of human development, poverty alleviation, health care and education. Lastly, resources of the environment need to be modified and conserved to attain sustainability for future generation.
