CHAPTER ONE
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 Introduction
At the heart of
environmental concerns for every state and nation is the problem of
waste and its management. Disposal and management of waste be hazardous
or non-hazardous presents serious environmental problem. The problem is
due to the lack of adequate resources namely: legal, financial,
technology and manpower.
An effective waste management as a means of protecting environment under
environmental law needs adequate legal regime, technology and enough
manpower with necessary managerial skills and training to properly
handle waste, hazardous and non-hazardous in an environmentally safe and
sound manner.
The modern industry has come along with it the problem of hazardous
waste. Having to use raw materials to produce goods, modern industries
end up with hazardous waste which could either be toxic or radioactive.
Communities in urban areas, settlements in rural areas and villages,
markets, commercial places, schools, houses and institutions have now
become a source of waste and there is always the problem of how to
manage and dispose of them without either harming the human environment or the environment of animals and plants.
Waste management is the generic expression that covers the various
stages involved in the handling of waste. The collection, treatment,
storage and disposal of waste are various stages of waste management.
For every state law exist to provide a legal framework for the
management of waste at that state.
This forms the background study on the appraisal of the legal and institutional framework for waste management in Kano State.

and institutional framework for waste management with particular

challenges with the issue of waste management. There is almost
everywhere in the state dumps sites, land spread, water disposal and
incineration and some numbers of land fillings particularly outside town
and each of these have serious environmental defects/impacts.
The legal and institutional framework setup for the management of waste in the state are not enough. The principal law enacted to regulate waste management in the state recognized only waste to be refuse of solid nature2leaving the otherkind of waste which could be liquid in nature. Therefore, the research aims at determining efficacies and deficiencies in providing for an adequate environmental protection to the population of Kano state at large. Generally, the research is meant to study all environmental issues that affect waste management in Kano State.
1.3 Justification for the Research

environmental protection particularly as it relates to waste management
in Kano state makes this research significant and justifiable. The
serious danger which these waste either hazardous or non-hazardous posed
to the communities
in Kano State easily justifies the need to research in this area. It
will also be useful to environmentalists, environmental litigants to
seek redress in courts for any grievances suffered due to poor
management of waste.
1.4 Aims and Objectives of the Research

institutional framework on waste management in Kano State with a view to
bring out the shortcomings of the law in the area and make laudable
