MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Against the background of concerns over climatechange, global warming, rising sea levels, floodingacross continents, threats to the strategic balancein the ecosystem, deteriorating sanitary conditionsin cities across the world, the United NationsOrganization (UNO) urged member nations toestablish institutional framework to deal withenvironmental issues fundamental to the existenceof mankind.

BACKGROUND TO ESTABLISHMENT OF FEDERAL MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT
MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
11
BACKGROUND TO ESTABLISHMENT OF FEDERAL MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT
In Nigeria, the dumping oftoxic waste in Koko town inthen Delta State in 1988prompted the FederalGovernment to take drasticaction by putting in place aninstitutional arrangement forsustainable environmentalmanagement. This led to theestablishment of the thenFederal EnvironmentalProtection Agency (FEPA).
MANAGING THE ENVIRONMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
12
BACKGROUND TO ESTABLISHMENT OF FEDERAL MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT
At the onset of the new democratic dispensation in 1999, Government inits wisdom saw reason to strengthen the institutional arrangement forenvironmental management in Nigeria. Thus, for the first time, a full-fledged Federal Ministry of Environment was Established. The creation ofthe Federal Ministry of Environment brought together the defunct FEPAand the following Departments/Divisions from other Ministries asfollows:i. Division of Flood and Erosion Control from the Ministry of Works;ii. Federal Department of Forestry from the Federal Ministry of
Agriculture;iii. Division of Flood Control from the Ministry of Water Resources; andiv. Department of Environmental Health from the Ministry of Health;v. Forestry Research Institute of Nigeria (FRIN);vi. National Parks Service (NPS).

ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF ENVIRONMENT
You may recall that on 22nd August, 2012, the President andCommander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Dr.Goodluck Ebele Jonathan signed a Performance ContractAgreement with all Ministers in government, with specifickey performance indicators for each sector. For the Ministryof Environment we have seven (7) Key PerformanceIndicators (KPIs) as follows:
19

It is a well known adage that a clean and healthy Nation is awealthy nation. Under our first Key Performance Indicator, whichis achieving a clean and healthy environment , we haveundertaken a number of Programmes, activities and projectsthrough the Pollution Control and Environmental HealthDepartment, Climate Change Department, National Oil SpillDetection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), NationalEnvironmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency(NESREA) and Environmental Health Officers Registration Councilof Nigeria (EHORECON) to achieve this goal. 23

To facilitate regular interaction with the public, the Ministry appliedfor and obtained a Toll Free Line (The Short Code 313) for reportingoil spill incidents across the country. This facility will be fully activatedin December 2014;
The Ministry procured equipment for the GIS (GeographicInformation System)/Remote sensing laboratories at theHeadquarters in Abuja and five zonal offices located in Kaduna,Lagos, Port-Harcourt, Uyo and Warri which I commissioned inSeptember 2014.
The Ministry collaborated with other Stakeholders to create the oilspill monitor – a robust GIS-Based web platform that has raised thelevel of awareness and transparency in oil spill management. 31

In recent times, certain human activities,including manufacturing, farmingpractices, oil exploration and exploitation,and mining, among others, have also beenidentified as significant causes of recentclimate change, often referred to as ”global warming”.
Global warming therefore implies thattemperature increase is being used asa major indicator of climate change.

Impacts of Climate Change:
Climate change has become one ofthe most threatening environmentalproblems in the world with concernsabout its impacts on humanactivities.
Nigeria is concerned about climatechange because its impacts threatenfood security, cause flooding,accidents (including aviationaccidents), aggravate drought andcause desertification, social frictions,conflicts and insurgency at theextreme. 45

The Nigeria Erosion and Watershed Management Project (NEWMAP) is designed to support Mr. President’s Environment Transformation Agenda (ETA) to achieve greater environmental and economic security.
NEWMAP supports State-led interventions to prevent and reverse land degradation, focusing on major gully erosion sites that threaten infrastructure, livelihoods and environmental assets;
The Project was operationalized on September 16, 2013; and
Phase I of the project is on-going in the following seven States: Abia, Anambra, Cross River, Ebonyi, Edo, Enugu & Imo.
