QUESTION 1: Lesson 7
The prescribed reading ‘Sustainable development and environmental health
problems in Africa: A critique’ (2015) “was written by Abiodun Ogunbodede
who at that stage was a student in the Department of Sociology/Anthropology
at the University of Uyo, Nigeria. His paper is about the impact of multinational
companies, particularly those in the oil (petroleum) industry, on the lives of the
affected communities and what he as an African anthropologist from a people-
orientated African approach recommends as a possible solution. It is
important to note that researchers might have different solutions to the same
problems, but by reading different opinions we become more informed on a

informed choices about possible solutions. The main aim of this reading is to

explanations, and solution. It should be pointed out that through publications,
human issues, and possible solutions are made known to the world and can
assist in the implementation of positive changes for humanity.” (APY:40)

result in the overexploitation of natural resources (e.g., oil, minerals, forests) to
