“…Toll gates ( Figure 6) were constructed in Lekki which serve as a source of revenue to the government.

The study examines the strength of environmental education in Lekki-Lagos and its impact on community and grass-root development by considering a targeted sample population comprising some respondents that are living or working in Lekki community in Lagos. A qualitative survey was conducted using participatory observation, interviews, and a structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was validated through peer review and pilot testing. Data collected were summarized and computed using descriptive statistics while a paired t-test and Turkey’s HSD test were used for further analysis. Results showed that 92% of the respondents affirmed that environmental education impacted positively on the community attracting the government, non-governmental and private organizations to help in developing the area through construction of roads, pedestrian bridges, drainages and sea embankments thus reducing flooding, man hour loss due to traffic jam and rate of pollution. There was also a decrease in loss of lives and properties. Investors were attracted to Lekki, reducing poverty and social imbalance thus increasing community development. There is a significant difference between the state of Lekki now and before the intervention of public-private practice in developing the area (P< 0.05). It is recommended that the government and other stakeholders should collaborate on a higher scale to enhance developing the unreached communities.

“…That is why they have direct stakes in the environment and become much influenced by the natural environment.

“…Meanwhile, the importance of corporate social responsibility (CSR) has increased the need to conduct activities differently by integrating the community’s issues and activities in a targeted, socially responsible, and economical way [ 19 ]. Researchers have shown a severe concern for CSR, which is considered one of the most important phenomena for modern enterprises from the perspective of environment management [ 20 , 21 ]. Firms have the right to sell goods or services to consumers, but they are also responsible for conducting their activities in a socially responsible manner.…”

Environmental quality strongly depends on human behavior patterns. Many environmental challenges are rooted in human actions, and thus, it is believed that these problems can be reduced through the promotion of pro-environmental behaviors (PB). Owing to this reality, the current study aims to reduce the environmental footprint of a hospital by promoting its employees’ environment-specific behavior via corporate social responsibility (CSR) and ethical leadership (EL). More importantly, the study also considered the role of female leaders in the proposed relationship. The current study collected the data from the respondents employed in different hospitals of a developing economy through a questionnaire (paper-pencil method). A total of 489 valid responses were collected, which were analyzed by employing the structural equation modeling (SEM) technique. As per the current study’s findings, there is a positive relationship between CSR, while EL mediates between CSR and PB. Likewise, the moderating role of female leaders in the proposed relationship was more significant than that of male leaders. More specifically, the study’s findings have considerable theoretical and practical implications, as it opens paths for researchers to further investigate the applicability of different dimensions of CSR and the role of gender in environmental sustainability. It provides insight to policymakers on how to restructure their CSR preferences, priorities on the environment, and gender differences.

“…In opposite side, Barau (n.d) made his research on an appraisal of the women's level of environmental education in Nigeria. Similarly, Agbogidi and Ofuoku (2007) carried out their research on promoting environmental protection through EE in Nigeria and the role of women. Equally, Muhammed conducted her research work on appraising the gender participation with particular emphasis on involvement of women in environmental management in Nigeria (Muhammed, 2012).…”
