This article shall present a detailed assessment of the roles of the institutions responsible for the control of oil pollution in Nigeria. The fulcrum of this article is to evaluate the viability as well as the Gaps in Nigeria’s institutional Framework for the control of oil pollution. We argue that there are several regulatory agencies performing identical functions in Nigeria with regards to the monitoring and control of oil spills hence, these is the confusion of social efficiency due to the duplication of statutory duties. Thus, it is submitted that each institutions should be specifically provided/vested and properly spelt out in its establishment framework in such a manner that would ensure their efficiencies in the administration of policies and regulation of oil pollution particularly on matters relating to spillages and payment of compensation to victims.
