Keywords:
Ecology, ecosystem, green house and ozone layerAbstract
The primary aim of this study was to assess the relevance of sustainable
environmental education for national stability in Nigeria. The need for greater
awareness across-the-board, that is, the citizenry, industry, State and Federal
Environmental Protection Agency was explored. From the review, the objective
of environmental education programme was seen as the twin need to erase
prevalent false notions pertaining to the environment while instilling and inspiring
a greater sense of respect for the biosphere in our quest for development. It was
observed that such education will enable all from the grassroots, through the
relevant agencies to the leaders to understand the stakes, the urgent need for
action, and the necessary steps that must be taken towards sustainable national
environmental protection. On this note, it was noted that environmental education,
though indispensable yet invaluable must be implemented together with other
environmental measures for effective national stability in Nigeria.
