This study attempts to review the importance and application of Environmental Education as well
its types and sources in Nigeria with the view to making people more conscious towards proper
utilization of environmental resources. Similarly, the study reviews the efforts made by Nigerian
government towards safeguarding the environment in order to attain sustainability. However, the
review revealed that most of the environmental laws and regulations were not enforced at various
stages, as such degrades the quality of the environment. While the study recommended the
enforcement of the environmental laws and regulations, it further recommended that
environmental education (EE) should be incorporated into the National Curriculum or captured in
some subject areas such as Social Studies, Hygiene, Basic Science, etc. of the National Curriculum.
Lastly, the paper recommended the use of seminars, conferences, workshops, and media, among
others can go a long way in educating and re-educating people about their environment.
