Since the establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals by the United Nations, there have been a growing number of organisations and environmental campaigns in Nigeria, that focus on creating awareness and making a positive impact to achieve a sustainable environment in the country. They sometimes do partner with each other to achieve a common goal. Some of these organisation are established by the federal government while others are driven by social entrepreneurship and non-profit organisations. Below in the table are some of the most popular environmental organisations in Nigeria. | S/No | NAME OF ORGANIZATION | OWNERSHIP | WEBSITE | | 1. | National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA) | Government | http://www.nema.gov.ng/ | | 2. | National Environmental Standards & Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) | Government | http://www.nesrea.gov.ng/ | | 3. | Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency (NIHSA) | Government | http://www.waterresources.gov.ng/ | | 4. | Climate Wednesday | Non-profit | http://www.climatewed.org/ | | 5. | Recycle Point | Profit | http://recyclepoints.com/ | | 6. | Project Gaia, Nigeria | Profit | https://projectgaia.com/ | | 7. | National Biotechnology Development Agency (NABDA) | Government | https://nabda.gov.ng | | 8. | Connected Development | Non-Profit | https://connecteddevelopment.org/ | | 9. | Association of Environmental Impact Assessment of Nigeria (AEIAN) | Non-profit | https:aeian.org/ | | 10. | Sabi-Recycling Nigeria | Profit | https://sabirecycle.com/ | | 11. | We-cyclers | Profit | https://wecyclers.com | | 12. | Clean-Up Nigeria | Non-profit | https://cleanupnigeria.org | | 13. | Eco-Nigeria | Non-profit | https://econigeria.org | | 14 | Greenhill Recyclers | Profit | https://greenhillrecyclersng.com | | 15 | Nigeria Conservative Foundation (NCF) | Government | https//ncfnigeria.org/ | These organisations have so far created overwhelming positive changes in the area of bringing a sustainable environment in the country and I?m optimistic there are still more that would be founded in coming years.
