Land degradation is among the worst environmental problems facing many people worldwide.
The key environmental issues in the Niger Delta of Nigeria relate to its petroleum and industry.. The delta covers 20,000 km² within wetlands of 70,000 km² formed primarily by sediment deposition. Home to 20 million people and 40 different ethnic groups, this floodplain makes up 7.5% of Nigeria's total land mass. It is the largest wetland and maintains the third-largest drainage basin in Africa.

Land that is degraded becomes less resilient than undegraded land, which can lead to even further degradation through shocks to the landscape. Climate change. Significant land degradation from seawater inundation, particularly in river deltas and on low-lying islands, is a potential hazard that was identified in a 2007 IPCC report.
Nigeria’s abundant solid minerals constitute some of the largest known deposits in recent years under different categories. With the activities in the sector characterized by production and a growing environmental decline often overlooked.
