dc.description.abstractThis project reviewed the environmental impact study of oil spillage, using the case study of Sarkin Pawa in Niger state north central of Nigeria. It critically analyzed the effect of oil spillage on marine life, environment, flora and fauna; also the effect on human health. The research also involved the use of primary and secondary sources of data collection for methodology. Questionnaires were developed, administered and observations recorded. The research shows that oil spillage in Sarkin Pawa affected 85% of the environment endangering flora, fauna and the health of the community. It was traced mainly due to negligence of duty by the oil company operators in which the oil sprayed within the environment and was ignited by a moving vehicle. The fire it caused affect animals mainly through effects on their habitant, which cause short-term increases in wildlife foods that contribute to the increase in population of some animals. The research shows that 80% of oil spillage was due to negligence. I recommend increased efforts by the oil company in the management of oil installations.en_US
