Abstract: In this paper, the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation is examined with primary objective of verifying the applicability of the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis in Nigeria. The empirical model followed the Grossman-Krueger traditional model with some improvements due to the introduction of technological progress and international trade as part of the predictors. The level of environmental degradation was measured using per capita carbon dioxide emissions. The Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model/bounds cointegration test formed basis for the data analysis. It was observed from the results that the growth-carbon........
