The major contributor to this environmental pollution is oil spillage. Oil spillage refers to the accidental leakage of crude oil or refined products on land or water during the process of transportation or distribution resulting in environmental pollution. The incidence of oil spillage occurs in different parts of the world causing serious problems and hazards to the environment. Nigeria is a major exporter of crude oil and the nation has therefore experienced several oil spills which affected agricultural lands as well as plants growth and development in the areas affected.
