Abstract<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
Anthropogenic stressors such as crude oil pollution result in colossal damage to the soil ecosystem. The terrain of the Niger Delta Region Nigeria is such that huge expanse of arable lands have been rendered barren with lost ecosystem services due to oil spillage. Bioremediation which relies on microbial versatility in substrate utilization is an eco-friendly, cost-effective, and acceptable treatment option very suitable for the tropical soils which have abundant rainfall and rich microbial diversity to drive hydrocarbon biodegradation through the biochemical activities of indigenous hydrocarbonoclastic microbes. Thus, the research outputs presented showcase bioremediation projects using nature-based solutions (NbS) to stimulate petroleum biodegradation and ecosystem restoration post-remediation for the SDGs.<\/span><\/div>\n
