Abstract

The Ibadan metropolis, a city in southwestern Nigeria, is faced with severe environmental crises, including flood, pollution, deforestation, and waste management issues, which threaten the health, well-being, and quality of life of its residents. This study investigated the complex relationship between value orientation and environmental crisis in Ibadan, with a focus on identifying the underlying values, beliefs, and practices driving environmental degradation. The study employed a descriptive research design of the survey type with the sample pulled from the adult inhabitants of the Ibadan metropolis of both male and female in Ibadan Oyo State. Two hundred (200) respondents of both males and females in the four local government areas in Ibadan Oyo State (Ibadan South West, Ibadan South East, Ibadan North and Ibadan North East) were selected through conveniences sampling technique. A self-developed questionnaire was used for data collection. The data collected for this study were analysed using a correlation of 0.05 at the significance level.
