Environmental degradation and pollution occasioned by oil spillage and gas flaring have often necessitated governmental intervention in the operations and activities of oil prospecting companies in Nigeria. This paper addresses the following questions in this regards: How coordinated are such governmental interventions? How efficacious are governmental regulatory policies? What impact has the relevant governmental agencies made in pursuit of “green growth” in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry? What levels of cooperation and synergy exist among environment-focused agencies of government? An objective assessment of Nigeria’s efforts at managing climate change would reveal that the problem has not been well-tackled by extant government’s policies; and where some new policies have been enunciated, their implementation have often been pursued unenthusiastically. The management of climate change in the country requires inter-governmental and inter-agency collaboration and coordination. This underlines the salience of political will among the dramatis personae across the three tiers of government in Nigeria.
