Abstract
ABSTRACT
There has been a serious misconception of the cause and consequences of environmental degradation implications for policy reform in Agaie Local Government Area, Niger State. This study aims to determine the implication and policies of environmental degradation in Agaie local government of Niger state. Descriptive survey design was used and statistical percentages were applied in the analysis. The findings reached showed that, the deepening poverty experienced by rural dwellers in Niger state leaves them with no alternative than to degrade the environment on which their livelihoods depend. The study recommended that public enlightenment and education should be given to rural poor people to avoid some of the activities that promote degradation.
