Problem : Bunkering

The frequent illegal oil drilling otherwise known as bunkering in oil prone areas of Niger Delta region of Nigeria posses a problem to the region because of many exploring deficiencies that occurs as a result of lack of skilled expertise engaging in the exercise and also the frequent boycotting of standard procedures.

Solution :Implementation of Anti-bunkering Policy

The problem of oil bunkering that have disrupted many environmental friendly activities in the Niger Delta region can be minimize by enforcing strong environmental laws that will impose strong penalty for defaulters of the offense and maximum implementation of these laws without favour.

Problem: Violation of Environmental and Climatic Laws

Every country and region in the world has environmental and climatic laws and policies governing every aspect of its society. There are many climatic and environmental laws and policies that have been made to govern all the companies especially oil exploring companies in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. These laws and policies are made to help reduce the environmental degradation and pollution that are very common to the region due to the existence of many environmental threatening companies. But for decades now this oil exploring companies make it to look as if no laws and policies existed due to poor supervision by government and other environmental agencies,. These continuous violations of these environmental laws and policies have been the major cause of the environmental catastrophe that continues to hit the people of Niger Delta

Problem: Destruction of Marine Ecosystem

The continuous explorations of oil both in the offshore and onshore areas of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria have destroyed the marine ecosystem of the entire region. During oil exploration and drilling a lot of environmental problems occurs as a result of many factors such as oil spillage, oil leak, pipeline vandalizing. When any of this occurs around oil prone areas especially around the onshore areas it causes massive environmental disaster which eventually leads to death of marine animals and destruction of their natural habitat which affects the economy of the people living around there and the biodiversity of the nation as a whole.

Solution: Practicing Commercial fish Farming

The consistent environmental disaster that occurs as a result of oil exploration and drilling which affects marine ecosystem of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria posses a treat to the nation’s economy and the continents ecosystem. When problems like oil spillage, oil leak or pipeline vandalizing occurs it causes water pollution which makes life difficult for fishermen and birds that depend on sea animals for their food. To solve this problem people of the region and the entire nation should be practicing commercial fish farming and rearing of other sea animals artificially to provide enough sea food and avoid extinction of some of the endangered species.
