Noting that plans were in progress to launch the National Vehicular Emission Control Programme (NVECP) and the National Generator Emission Control Programme (NGECP), to address air pollution, he stated that the agency will not hesitate to deregister and withdraw the license of consultants involved in poor inspection of environmental facilitates across the States.

“Let me use this forum to inform you that environmental consultancy is not an all-comers affair, neither is it a ‘quick-cash carry go’ business.“Your role is to provide independent, credible and objective verification of information on facilities, with respect to their activities and impact on the environment in line with extant regulations,” he said.

Urging the inductees to be aware of the trend in the environment sector and assist in enforcing the compliance of environmental laws as well as promote good environmental governance in Nigeria, he pointed out that NESREA was ready to partner with them in fulfilling one of its roles as environmental adviser, adding that they should encourage their clients to adopt environmental best practices.

The DG noted that sensitisation is key to voluntary compliance of environmental laws, he promised to facilitate a cleaner and healthier environment for Nigerians in collaboration with stakeholders.
