This paper strongly argues for lifelong institutionalization of environmental education both in formal education systems and non-formal adult education fashions. This should include the reactivation of indigenous cultural education rooted in the life style of the people. The paper provides pertinent learning and training strategies including social mobilization techniques, for raising people's awareness, popular participation and support systems. The paper concludes by observing that concerted efforts to achieve the country's policy on sustainable natural resources conservation and development will very much depend on the manner and degree of institutionalization of environmental education which covers the life span of every person in society. There is need for lifelong environmental education processes and programmes. In the face of changes in science and technology and the free market economic policies, sustainable environmental education will require imaginative, institutionalized, formal and non-formal, learning and training strategies to resolve disparities between political intentions and socio-economic realities.
