The world has long been struggling with environmental issues. The depletion of the ozone layer, the greenhouse effect, and water pollution are just a few of the many problems the earth is facing. Despite the many efforts to try to improve the environment, it seems that the situation is only getting worse. One of the most pressing issues the world is currently facing is deforestation. Nigeria is among the countries that face this challenge and is making an effort to arrest the situation by introducing afforestation programs in different regions of the country. Thus, this study tries to develop a conceptual framework for factors affecting the afforestation program in Nigeria. The paper will develop a research framework and suggest propositions that will be empirically tested.
