Abstract
The study is a critical investigation into corruption and its adverse effects on sustainable environment in Nigeria, with focus on the Niger Delta. The research is intended majorly to evaluate how corruption has adversely affected the attainment of a sustainable environment in the Niger Delta Region. The researcher adopted the Historical research design in assessing corruption and its effects on sustainable environment in Nigeria. Findings show that corruption by the government and its officials has led to corrupt practices by all and sundry in Nigeria, and thus adversely affected the country in security, economy and environment. That because corrupt practices are tolerated in Nigeria, the country gives less attention to environmental matters and its consequences on human. Therefore, achieving a sustainable environment in the Niger Delta is almost unrealizable. The researcher recommended that there should be a strong environmental constitutional framework and the fight against corruption should be total without any form of favoritism. This research work concluded that corruption by the political class has denied the country from achieving a sustainable environment in the Niger Delta.
