Abstract

Corporate compliance is a critical aspect of environmental law enforcement in Nigeria, where legal frameworks are complex and often under-resourced. A survey approach was employed to gather data from key stakeholders including government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and corporations operating in the field of law. Findings indicate that while there are established compliance mechanisms, their effectiveness is compromised by resource constraints and bureaucratic inefficiencies. The study highlights the need for improved enforcement strategies and greater accountability among corporate entities to enhance environmental protection efforts. Policy recommendations include increased funding for law enforcement agencies, enhanced training programmes for stakeholders, and stricter oversight mechanisms.
