Nigeria Tightens Vehicle, Generator Emission Rules After Ranking Third Most Polluted in Africa

The move signals a policy shift toward addressing a long-standing pollution crisis, though implementation and enforcement details remain unclear. This matters because Nigeria's pollution levels have significant health and economic implications for its large population.
