Abstract

This study examines oil spill exposure and environmental health risks in the Nigerian Niger Delta and proposes a guidance and counseling framework for promoting environmental sustainability. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews across selected states and local government areas. A total of 600 respondents, including farmers, fishermen, traders, and civil servants, participated in the study. Descriptive analysis revealed high levels of oil spill exposure and environmental health risks, alongside moderate environmental awareness. Regression analysis showed a significant positive relationship between oil spill exposure and health risks, as well as between environmental awareness and sustainable behavior. Thematic analysis further identified key issues such as health concerns, economic losses, psychological stress, low awareness, and institutional distrust. The findings highlight the multidimensional impacts of environmental degradation and the limitations of existing technical interventions. The study concludes that guidance and counseling frameworks can play a critical role in enhancing environmental awareness, promoting behavioral change, and improving community resilience. It recommends the integration of counseling programs into environmental policies, increased public education, and stronger institutional accountability to achieve sustainable development in the Niger Delta.

Abstract

This study examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in flood prediction and counselling-based environmental health risk communication in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. The aim is to develop a comprehensive framework that enhances disaster preparedness and supports sustainable development. A mixed-method research design was employed, involving 450 respondents selected from Delta, Bayelsa, and Rivers States. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and interviews and then analysed using descriptive statistics, thematic analysis, and multiple regression techniques. The findings reveal that while flood risk awareness is high among residents, awareness of AI-based prediction systems and communication effectiveness remain moderate. Thematic results indicate that mistrust in government communication and delays in information dissemination are key barriers to effective risk communication and the adoption of AI-based prediction systems among residents. Regression analysis shows that AI prediction systems (β = 0.42) and counselling communication (β = 0.37) significantly improve environmental health risk awareness, leading to rejection of the null hypothesis. The study concludes that integrating AI technologies with counselling frameworks enhances risk communication, promotes behavioural change, and improves disaster preparedness. It recommends increased investment in AI systems, the incorporation of counselling services in disaster management, and the development of trust-based communication strategies. This integrated approach is essential for achieving sustainable development goals in flood-prone regions.
