ABSTRACT

This study investigates the influence of environmental variables on resource degradation in Nigeria, with focus on land use patterns. With Nigeria facing increasing environmental challenges, including deforestation, soil erosion, and water pollution, understanding the underlying factors contributing to resource degradation is crucial for effective environmental management and sustainable development. Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, the research examined the relationship between environmental variables, in particular, land use patterns, and their impact on resource degradation. Resource degradation in Nigeria is a critical environmental concern with far-reaching implications for sustainable development; hence, through empirical analysis and data-driven insights, the study aims to enhance understanding of the complex relationships between environmental variables and resource degradation, providing valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders to develop effective strategies for environmental conservation and sustainable resource management in Nigeria.
