Abstract
Over the years, it has been observed that no serious efforts have been directed towards making a concrete unique rules and regulations to combat menace of various pollutant elements in the world environment. One of the issues associated with the environment is oil spillage and pollution. Most of the nations of the world, despite various threat posed by the environmental hazards, had no national policy or national statutes directed or enacted to forestall or curb the menace. Those that have a legal framework lacked enforcement mechanism. This study has appraised the legal framework of environment issues in the oil and gas sector in Nigeria. The research methodology explored in this study is qualitative. That is, library-oriented research. It is also interesting to mention that the Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment at the conference of 1972 draws the attention of the world to problems of human environment which for the first time in the history of the world, present a blue print on a legal regime for environmental protection, which highlights the problems and suggests measures to make the system of regulatory environmental management more effective and proactive. It has also been discovered through the findings of this study that a consistent review of the laws in relation to oil and gas will reduce environmental hazards and it is concluded that the legislature should be up and doing in enacting related laws that will enhance a good environment. The methodology adopted and explored in this research work is qualitative.
