Background of the Study:
Environmental degradation is a significant global issue that affects human health, economic stability, and social well-being. In Nigeria, rapid industrialization, deforestation, mining activities, and poor waste management have led to severe environmental damage. Ningi, a local government area in Bauchi State, has not been immune to these challenges. The degradation of natural resources such as water, land, and air quality has direct consequences on the health, livelihood, and overall human rights of the local population.
In Ningi, environmental degradation has resulted in reduced access to clean water, the destruction of farmland, and increased pollution, leading to poor health outcomes for the community. The degradation also hinders the economic activities of local farmers and workers, exacerbating poverty and inequality. This study will explore the relationship between environmental degradation and its impact on human rights in Ningi, focusing on how it affects the right to health, food, clean water, and a healthy environment.
Statement of the Problem:
Environmental degradation in Ningi has led to the violation of several human rights, including the right to a safe and healthy environment, access to clean water, and the right to adequate health care. The local community faces increased vulnerability to diseases, food insecurity, and economic hardship. Despite the government's acknowledgment of the issue, little has been done to address the root causes of environmental degradation or its human rights implications. This study aims to assess the extent of environmental degradation in Ningi and its consequences on the rights of the local population.
