Abstract This article examines the relevant provisions of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended) that appear to be in tune with the tenets of sustainable development, which has received much attention at both international and municipal levels. It was found that the relevant aspects of the Constitution on sustainable development are contained in Chapter Two of the Constitution under the fundamental objectives and directive principles of state policy, which include environmental, economic and social objectives. The constitution provides for their non-justifiability to the effect that the court shall not entertain any question on implementation of the objectives. Therefore, constitutional basis for sustainable development in Nigeria has been whittled down. It is contended that given the importance of sustainable development to the well-being of Nigerians and the future generations, it is expedient that the provisions of Chapter Two of the constitution relevant to sustainable development be made justiciable in Nigeria.

尼日利亚实现可持续发展的宪法实现

摘要本文研究了《 1999年尼日利亚联邦共和国宪法》（经修订）的有关规定，这些规定似乎与可持续发展的宗旨相吻合，在国际和市政一级都受到了广泛的关注。人们发现，《宪法》关于可持续发展的有关方面载于《宪法》第二章中的国家政策的基本目标和指导原则，其中包括环境，经济和社会目标。宪法规定了它们的不正当性，即法院不得对目标的实现提出任何疑问。因此，尼日利亚可持续发展的宪法基础已被削减。
