Abstract
The need for sustainable development in Niger Delta, Nigeria cannot be overemphasised. Hence the aim of this research is to evaluate the level of adoption of sustainability practices among construction firms in Niger- Delta, Nigeria. Data were obtained using 1179 copies of structured questionnaire, administered through random sampling technique. The methods of data analysis were simple percentage, mean score, Kruskal – Wallis test and Bonferron – Dunn test. The average mean score of 2.91 indicates that the overall level of adoption of sustainability practices among construction firms in Niger Delta is moderate. The P-value of 0.001 is less than 0.05 significance level; hence, the hypothesis was rejected. This indicates that there is a significant difference in the level of adoption of sustainability practices among the states in Niger Delta, Nigeria. This implies that construction firms operating in each of the states in Niger Delta did not record the same level of adoption of sustainability practices. This study concluded that firms’ location have significant impact on the level of adoption of sustainability practices by the construction firms in Niger Delta. This study recommends government should pass into law, legislations that would encourage the adoption of sustainability practices by the construction firms in Niger - Delta, Nigeria. This study also recommends that construction firms should improve on their level of adoption of sustainability practices in Niger Delta by increasing top management support, human resource management, employee empowerment, training and educating employees on sustainability practices and increasing the amount of resources allocated to sustainability.
