dc.description.abstractEnvironmental sustenance is a veritable tool for human survival and development of any country in the world. Several environmental policies had been put in place from the pre-colonial era to date with varying degree of results achieved at every point in time. The primary objectives of this paper are to point out the role information had played and is still playing to maximise the benefit of the Environment on lives of the citizenry and to surmount the environmental challenges in Nigeria. This paper will approach the right to environmental emancipation by reference to doctrinal methodology. The paper finds that legislations are not enough, but there is the need to bring environmental information to the doorsteps of the masses_ Monitoring and enforcement can only be effective when there is an adequate flow of information, and by so doing the people will become conscious about the Environment and the citizens right to a sustainable environment. This paper recommends regular information dissemination concerning the Environment as it affects the citizens. This paper further suggests that the government take proactive measures to enforce environmental assessment standards which manufacturing companies must comply with, in addition to the afforestation campaign for creating a healthy environment for Nigerian citizens.en_US
