Abstract
The paper focuses on the involvement of natural resources as an ecosystem that can sustain man as a means of empowerment for human livelihood and national development. Different examples of natural resources and how Nigeria citizens could be empowered with the management of the natural resources was discussed. It was recommended that every Nigeria citizen should be educated on how to manage the national resources in their environment. They should equally be trained on how to create and apply knowledge gained to address specific needs of a particular community within Nigeria. Also, government, scientists and science educators should organize capacity building programmes that would introduce scientific reflective thinking and materials on natural resources management at all levels of education in the country.
