The concern to protect the environment gave rise to the creation of the Federal Ministry of Environment in 1999 to ensure effective coordination of all environmental matters, which were hitherto fragmented and resident in different line Ministries. With the rationalization of the Federal Ministries at the end of 2006, Environment and Housing & Urban Development Ministries were merged which gave rise to the Federal Ministry of Environment, Housing & Urban Development. This was to ensure the effective integration and coordination of all environmental matters, housing and land use for urban development. However, in order to align the Ministries to vision 20:2020, Millennium Development Goals and the Transformation Agenda geared towards making Nigeria one of the twenty developed economies of the world by year 2020, the Ministry was in September 2008, excised from the Housing and Urban Development and given a full fledged Ministerial status, known as Federal Ministry of Environment.
