dc.description.abstractConceptually, environmental justice emanated from the United States in the early 1980s but has evolved primarily to advance equity in the distribution of environmental benefits and consequences. By extension, it has become an omnibus conception bordering on social inclusion, good governance and environmental sustainability with both political and economic indices. In a developing country like Nigeria, access to land and natural resources are integrated into the paradigm of environmental justice. This paper explores, in part, the provision for large-scale land acquisition within the context of environmental justice as it affects the rights of the natives to drive home the seeming injustice in the process in the Lekki region by the Lagos State Government (LASG) and its long-drawn aftermath. Development of comprehensive land policies and appropriate revision of land-related sectoral laws are therefore advocated to guarantee net gains for the original/traditional landowners.en_US
