               1.0    Introduction 
                      It is not a gainsaying to state here that environmental law is a very young field of 
               study under faculty/college of law and in the Nigerian legal curriculum; unlike older courses 
               such as Business/Company Law, Torts, Equity, Trusts, Estate Administration, Contract, the 
               concepts of which are settled and their studies are firmly rooted in the legal curriculum. It is 
               an  interesting  course  despite  its  acknowledged  multi-disciplinary  nature  and  inter 
               relationship with other discipline is such as Economics, Politics and Science. As a result, the 
               environmentalist described the subject as “creative” because it is subversive in principle. 
                      Though in the academics environment law is very recent in Nigeria, the idea of 
               protecting  our  environment  began  in  pre-colonial  era  when  African’s  protected  their 
               environment through observation of culture, norms and customs. The second phase was the 
               period of the imperialist, when common law and English statutes were introduced to curb or 
               prevent pollution of our environment. 
                      The emergence of the third era was marked by the toxic waste dumped in Koko, a 
               riverine town in Delta State (formerly Bendel State) in 1988, Nigeria for the first time got 
                                                               4
