Background of the Study
Oil spills remain one of the most pressing environmental challenges in Nigeria, particularly in the Niger Delta region. These spills devastate aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems, reduce agricultural productivity, and harm local communities. Corporate sustainability strategies, including advanced spill response systems, community engagement, and investment in spill prevention technologies, are critical for mitigating these effects.
In recent years, oil companies in Nigeria have adopted various sustainability strategies to address oil spill risks. According to Okoro et al. (2024), while some companies have achieved measurable success, others struggle with implementation due to regulatory, financial, and logistical constraints. This study investigates the effectiveness of corporate sustainability strategies in mitigating oil spills in Nigeria, with a focus on best practices and areas for improvement.
Statement of the Problem
Frequent oil spills in Nigeria cause significant environmental and socio-economic damage. Despite the introduction of sustainability strategies by oil companies, the recurrence of spills indicates gaps in their effectiveness. Factors such as weak regulatory enforcement, inadequate investment in technology, and limited stakeholder involvement exacerbate the issue.
This study evaluates the impact of corporate sustainability strategies on oil spill mitigation and identifies ways to strengthen these efforts.
