Abstract
In Nigeria, multinational corporations have been largely blamed for environmental degradation, with the state always pretending to support environmentally sustainable operations when in actual fact it contributes to the underlying causes of pollution in the country, this is because the Nigerian Constitution of 1999 (as amended) debars the public from bringing any action in court with respect to environmental protection as long the harm done to the environment does not directly affect the litigant or his property. He cannot also by order of court compel the state to act where the damage affects the general public. This limitation rather offers the state wide discretion to act or not to act, hence poor environmental regulation in Nigeria.
