| Abstract: | The public sector remains the most important source of funds for environmental activities in Nigeria. The study aims to establish if proportional attention has been devoted to the environmental sector. Summaries of the official annual budgets of the States considered in this study constituted the research data, which was analyzed using simple linear regression and analysis of variance. It was found that on the average, 93% of variations in the environmental sector budget were due to variations in the total budget of the States. Conclusions were drawn that funding for the environmental sector had been dictated by the level of funding available for the States concerned as a whole, with estimated values of environmental budgets being 10% - 15% of total annual budgets. It was recommended that the consistency in the trend of financial allocations revealed by this study should be maintained and improved upon. Private sector participation (PSP) through Private Financed Initiatives (PFI) in areas such as water supply, sewerage and housing could also be explored. |
