construction firms in Niger- Delta, Nigeria. Data were obtained using 1179 copies of structured
questionnaire, administered by the researcher and research assistants. The methods of data analysis

mean score of 3.48 indicates that the level of awareness of sustainability practices among the
construction firms in Niger Delta is high. The P-value is less than 0.05 significance level, hence the
hypothesis was rejected. This indicates that there is a significant difference in the level of awareness
of sustainability practices among the states in Niger Delta, Nigeria. This study concludes that there is
a significant difference in the level of awareness among the states.This study also concludes that
level of awareness of sustainability practices among construction firms in Niger Delta is high. It can be
