The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency Act, 2007,(NESREA Act) was amended in November 2018, by the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (Establishment) Amendment) Act (Amendment Act) to further empower the National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (the NESREA) in the protection and development of the environment.
Specifically, the Amendment Act seeks to amend the NESREA Act to review the conditions of appointment of some council members, increase penalties and permit the search of premises without warrant and other matters.
