Abstract

The study examines the influence of environmental adult education (EAE) on solid waste management in Federal Universities in South-South Nigeria. The data were collected using a structured questionnaire. Findings from the study revealed that awareness of staff and students in Federal Universities in South-South Nigeria on solid waste management is low. The study further revealed that despite the positive influence of EAE on solid waste management on universities campuses the universities managements are not promoting EAE. The study concluded that EAE which promotes awareness of and about the environment among the staff and students must be introduced. The study recommended that management of the universities should carry out aggressive EAE on campus by introducing it as a compulsory General Studies course for students at all levels and organize regular seminars/workshops based on EAE to staff, students, and other members of the university communities.
