Companies
established in Nigeria are subject to national regulations on
environmental protection. These regulations are made available to any
investor. Investors in the manufacturing sector are encouraged to design
products matching the ISO 9000 standard or equivalent.
Investors
planning to establish risk-enterprises (working with toxic products or
producing toxic waste) will previously ask for an environmental impact
assessment done by and independent certified company and join the
conclusions to their application for a business authorization. Such
enterprises should prepare an emergency plan with the local authorities.
