  • Is crude oil pollution affecting the Niger Delta region?
  • However the Niger Delta region of Nigeria is one of the most environmentally impacted regions of the world caused by crude oil as a result of poor regulations (Sam and Zabbey, 2018; Tukur Umar and Hajj Othman, 2017) coupled with the activities of non-standard crude oil refiners (Gundlach, 2018) who are major agents of pollution (Dominic, 2016).
  • How important is crude oil to Nigeria's economy?
  • The exploration for, and exploitation of, crude oil has been Nigeria's mainstay for over five decades (Sam and Zabbey, 2018), accounting for over 90% of foreign exchange earnings to the economy (Tukur Umar and Hajj Othman, 2017).
  • Do local crude oil refiners affect farmlands and product yields?
  • This study showed that activities of local crude oil refiners have affected the farmlands and product yields of their host communities. The transportation of crude oil to the local crude oil refineries and the refining process applied by the local crude oil refiners have resulted in pollution of the soil by hydrocarbon components.
  • Do local crude oil refiners affect host communities?
  • The aim of the study was to determine the impact of the activities of local crude oil refiners in the Niger Delta on their host communities. This study showed that activities of local crude oil refiners have affected the farmlands and product yields of their host communities.
