Background of the Study
Urban markets are essential components of local economies, providing access to goods and services for urban residents. However, the activities associated with these markets, such as waste generation, poor sanitation practices, and overcrowding, can have significant negative impacts on the environment. In Bauchi LGA, rapid urbanization and an increasing population have led to the expansion of markets, which often lack proper waste management infrastructure and sanitation facilities. This study seeks to assess the effects of urban market activities on environmental sanitation in Bauchi LGA, focusing on waste management practices, the impact of market activities on public health, and the role of local authorities in managing market-related environmental issues (Usman & Sani, 2024).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Urban market activities in Bauchi LGA have led to increased waste generation, poor waste disposal practices, and inadequate sanitation facilities. These issues contribute to environmental pollution, including littering, water contamination, and air quality deterioration. This study aims to assess the extent of these environmental problems, identify the root causes, and propose solutions to improve sanitation and waste management in urban markets in Bauchi LGA.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
• To assess the impact of urban market activities on environmental sanitation in Bauchi LGA.
• To identify the challenges associated with waste management and sanitation in urban markets.
• To recommend strategies for improving environmental sanitation in urban markets in Bauchi LGA.
1.4 Research Questions
• How do urban market activities affect environmental sanitation in Bauchi LGA?

• H2: Inadequate waste management infrastructure and poor sanitation practices exacerbate environmental pollution in urban markets.
• H3: Improved waste management practices and infrastructure will lead to better environmental sanitation in urban markets in Bauchi LGA.
1.6 Significance of the Study
This study will provide insights into the relationship between urban market activities and environmental sanitation in Bauchi LGA. The findings will inform local policymakers, market management authorities, and environmental agencies about the need for improved sanitation measures in urban markets. By recommending strategies for better waste management, the study will contribute to improving public health and environmental sustainability in the region (Usman & Sani, 2024).
1.7 Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on urban markets within Bauchi LGA, particularly assessing the environmental impact of waste generation and sanitation practices. Limitations may include the accessibility of specific market-related data and the challenges of obtaining reliable data on waste management practices.
