Abstract: This article analyses Nigerian environmental laws and how effective they are in regulating the activities of oil multinational companies (MNC’s) in the NDR, and protecting the environment and the people of the region. Right to environment is gaining increasing prominence globally. In some jurisdiction’s this right is guaranteed and enforceable constitutionally. The article presents an argument in favour of making the right to environment enforceable. The article examines the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the environment, Nigeria laws on oil and gas as well as the environment, common law and the problems militating the effective enforcement of environmental laws in Nigeria.
