Why is the major cause of pollution an industry in Nigeria?

The major cause of pollution in Nigeria is largely attributed to industrial activities, particularly in the oil and gas sector. These industries often operate with inadequate regulations and enforcement, leading to oil spills, gas flaring, and the release of toxic waste into the environment. Additionally, poor waste management practices and the use of outdated technologies exacerbate the pollution problem, impacting air, water, and soil quality. The lack of stringent environmental policies and accountability further allows these practices to continue unabated.
