Abstract

Environmental degradation and infrastructural development are interdependent and interrelated variables, as they appear to feed off each other. This study aimed at investigating the nature of infrastructural development and environmental security, and especially, the extent of the interdependence between these two variables in Nigeria. The study adopted a survey research design, drawing primary data from relevant environmental agencies in Nigeria, as well as secondary data from relevant text and online sources, and subjecting these to content analysis. The findings from the study showed that the environmental security in Nigeria is threatened, and poor infrastructural development is a factor responsible for such threat. Another finding revealed a nexus between environmental security and infrastructural development, resulting from the strain of infrastructural development on the environment and vice versa. Anchored on the theory of ecological modernization, the study concluded that sustainable infrastructural development would lead to more effective management of environmental degradation and promote environmental security in Nigeria. It recommended that law enforcement and relevant agencies should ensure proper implementation of relevant environmental laws. Also, relevant authorities should ensure adequate supervision of development activities to ensure that relevant infrastructural development policies are obeyed and that there are stricter sanctions for offenders.
