Abstract

Corporate compliance under environmental law in Nigeria is a critical issue facing both businesses and regulatory bodies. The research employs qualitative methods, including interviews with key stakeholders such as environmental regulators, companies operating in environmentally sensitive sectors, and civil society organizations. Findings indicate that while there are gaps in the implementation of environmental laws, corporations show varying degrees of compliance due to incentives and regulatory oversight. The study concludes that improving enforcement mechanisms and increasing public awareness can enhance corporate accountability under environmental law in Nigeria. Recommendations include strengthening legal frameworks, enhancing transparency in corporate operations, and fostering collaboration between regulators and civil society organizations.
