Abstract
The purpose of this study is to analyse the outcomes of MNCs operations and activities on the environment of Nigeria and also describe the existing and previous environmental concerns associated with the production and exploitation of oil reserves in NDR of Nigeria. The study will further highlight issues associated with environmental degradation and determine their correlation with the activities and operations of oil and gas MNCs in the region. The improvement in the environment and financial status of Nigeria can only be observed through the application of sustainable strategies and regulatory operations aimed at targeting and calling out businesses for their involvement in unethical activities. In addition to this, the implementation of effective risk-management practices is also crucial for mitigating the adverse impacts of oil production and exploration activities on the health and wellbeing of Nigerian people and the overall population of the region. A mixed-method strategy will be used to analyse underlying factors that shape the perception of the public about the development of oil and gas and provide an improved understanding of the reasons that must be considered in supporting and opposing the production and development of oil and gas in Nigeria.
