Curbing Gas Flaring in Nigeria: Legislative and Judicial Response

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Gas flaring is the process of burning off excess natural gas released during the extraction of crude oil. Gas flaring in Nigeria presents a significant environmental, health, and economic challenge, with profound implications for local communities, national policy, and international environmental goals. Despite various legislative and judicial efforts to mitigate this practice, substantial gaps and enforcement issues remain. The aim of this article is to examine the responses of the Federal Government of Nigeria to reduce gas flaring through legislative and judicial mechanisms.
