The Role of Universities in Awareness Creation Towards Plastic Pollution Mitigation in Nigeria

Abstract

The continent of Africa just like other continents is experiencing the negative impact of plastic pollution as well as other environmental pollution related issues. Plastic pollution is therefore an issue of great concern to communities, cities and campuses across Nigeria. Federal and State Ministries of Environment and other environmental related NGOs in collaboration with Universities in Nigeria need to join hands in fighting this menace. This study vividly identifies the role of universities in awareness creation towards plastic pollution mitigation in Nigeria.
