These at many times lead to human and public security threats.

This work posits that unsustainable exploitation of environmental resources affect the environmental security and sustainability which has a far reaching effect on biodiversity in Nigeria. The aim of this paper is to assess environmental security in Nigeria. The paper will also analyse the challenges of environmental security in the country and as well proffer some recommendations.
