This paper reviews the mechanistic and genetic effects of spilt crude oil and associated drill site chemicals on some Nigerian plants. Methods that range from morphological and physical observations, physico-chemical, anatomical, cuticular to cytological and cytogenetic analyses were reviewed. Quality data on various negative consequences of exposure of plants to pollution and contamination by crude oil-related pollutants were x-rayed. Proper legislation, monitoring and enforcement of sound environmental Laws by stakeholders were advised. Government collaboration with research institutions in order to keep abreast with new research findings was suggested as a way to help strengthen, manage and reinforce environmental Laws in order to protect our sources of food.
