Abstract
The cost approach to Valuation is one of the primary methods of valuation adopted in Nigeria by valuers in
solving industrial valuation problems. The method is based on the principles of contribution and substitution.
Generally, lacks of data, insecurity and instability in the Nigerian economy have made other models relatively,
inapplicable in Nigeria situation. Hence majority of the valuations done in Nigeria adopts the cost approach.
With recent focus of the world on environment, this paper tries to evaluate the level of compliance of this model
to the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities
Generating Waste) Regulations of 1991, since Estate Surveyors and Valuers are expected to play their role as
environmental protection advocates. The study adopted the survey research method and data was generated
using an evaluation checklist. The hypothesis developed was tested using the student “t” test and it was
discovered that that Cost approach to valuation does not comply with the provisions of the National
Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of
1991. The study recommended among other things that the model should be used with caution if Estate
Surveyors and Valuers in Nigeria will continue to play their role as Environmental Protection advocates.
KEY WORDS: Valuation, Pollution, Cost Approach, Environmental, Protection, Evaluation, Industries.
I. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to Baum and Mackmin (1983),
valuation is the art and science of estimating the
value of interests in landed property. Commenting
on this, Hemuka (1990) pointed out that valuation is
an estimate because if depends on the expertise of the
valuer, the type of data collected and the assumptions
made by the valuer. However, Deane, Gray and
Steel (1986) in their work defined valuation as a
professionally derived estimate of value, which is
based on supportable conclusions, arrived at through
a thorough and logical process of analysis of facts
and data at a point in time. Ifediora (2009) agreed to
an extent with this definition because according to
him valuation can only be accepted when it is done
by a professional who has undergone elaborate
training and has acquired some skill in the theories,
principles, procedures and practice of valuation. The
valuer in many countries of the world is equally
expected to acquire some level of statutory
recognition and are registered / licensed to practice.
Ifediora (2009) however is not comfortable with the
word “estimate” as used in the definition because it
connotes, to most people, a rough approximation of
the true value which could still or could have been
obtained later had more careful investigation and
analysis been made. He therefore stated that
valuation could be defined as the art and science of
determining, at some specific date, for a specific
purpose or purposes, and by one authorized the
monetary value of the property rights encompassed
in an ownership; and the value so determined.
Johnson, Davis and Shapiro (2000) opined that
most standard textbook in valuation recognize five
standard valuation methods. Kalu (2001) while
attesting to this recognized the three primary
methods of valuation as the market, income and cost
approaches. Olusegun (2000) equally enumerated
the secondary or hybrid methods of valuation as the
profit and residual methods. Finally Ifediora (2009)
pointed out a sixth method of valuation which is
peculiar to Nigeria; the statutory method. However,
for the valuation of industries and other facilities
generating waste in Nigeria valuers have adopted the
cost approach. This is because the method is used
mostly for properties that are not income producing
and have no comparables. Hence, the market and
income approaches may be inapplicable due to dearth
of information, lack of evidence of sales and general
lack of information on circumstance surrounding
sales.

Against this background this paper tries to
evaluate the level of compliance of the cost approach
to valuation to the provisions of the National
Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in
Industries and Facilities Generating Waste)
Regulation of 1991.
II. PROBLEM OF THE STUDY
The cost approach to valuation is founded on the
principles of substitution and contribution (Egolum,
1993). According to Deane et al (1986), the
principle of substitution suggests that a rational
purchaser who is faced with several alternative
choices which will provide the same level of
satisfaction will choose the option which is cheapest.
Similarly, the principle of contribution (or marginal
productivity) stipulates that the value of any part of a
property must be justified by its influence on the
property’s productivity in generating additional
amenities to the benefit stream. Kalu (2002) opined
that the method is employed in situations where the
investment method is inapplicable as a result of the
nature of property and/or damage or degradation
involved. Aluko (2004) also asserts that the method
could also be used in situations where the market
approach cannot be used due to dearth of
comparables.
Aniagolu quoting Kalu (2001) stated that the
method can be used for the following types of
properties (a) service properties or special use
properties such as schools, hospitals, churches,
institutions, municipal and government buildings, (b)
special purpose industries (c) estimation of cost of
repairs, modernization or rehabilitation of properties
(d) any other type of property that is not income
producing and does not have comparable sale
evidence. Aniagolu, Iloeje and Emoh (2015) quoting
Kalu (2001) stated that the method involves the
following stages (a) the estimation of the value of
land as if vacant (b) the estimation of the current cost
of replacing the existing improvements (c)
calculation of accrued deprecation (d) deduction of
accrued depreciation from the replacement cost
(new) to arrive at the depreciated replacement cost
(DRC) and (e) the addition of the value of land to the
DRC.
Aniagolu (2009) argued that the environmental
consideration in this method of valuation is implicit
and is manifested in the value of land and in the
computation of depreciation. Hence if we take
Enugu, Nigeria as an example the value of land in
independence layout or GRA is greater than that of
Ogui New Layout and Uwani. The difference in
value is attributed to differences in environmental
qualities. Again, the method does not show in any
way the contribution of the property in question to
environmental degradation and the cumulative effect
of environmental pollution as it relates to industries
and other facilities generating waste in Nigeria.
Since Estate Surveyors and Valuers are expected to
play a major role as environmental protection
advocates in Nigeria (NIESV, 1999) through
valuation, this paper tries to evaluate the level of
compliance of the cost approach to valuation (as
operated in Nigeria) to the provisions of the National
Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in
Industries and Facilities Generating Waste)
Regulation of 1991.
III. AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE
STUDY
The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of
compliance of the Cost Approach to Valuation to the
provisions of the National Environmental Protection
(Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities
Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. To achieve
this aim, this work intends to pursue the following
line of objectives:
(a) To develop a checklist that will assist the work
in evaluating the method using the provisions of
the law as stated in the aim.
(b) To use the developed checklist to evaluate the
cost approach to valuation accordingly.
(c) To use the data generated from the said
evaluation to test the relevant hypothesis.
IV. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS
For proper investigation and testing of results
from the evaluation checklist, the following
hypothesis has been put forward;
Ho: The cost approach to valuation does not comply
with the provisions of the National
Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement
in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste)
Regulation of 1991.
H1: The cost approach to valuation complies with the
provisions of the National Environmental
Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries
and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of
1991.
V. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The study made use of the evaluation research
method. According to Odoziobodo and Amam
(2007), Evaluation Research Method involves the
collection of data about a person, a product or a
technique of production. The aim of evaluation
research is to take decisions about the character of
the person, the value of the product or the soundness
of the technique. Further, they pointed out that
evaluation research could be in the form of formative
evaluation, summative, character and action
evaluations. Also Murthy (2009) opined that
evaluation research is primarily directed to

evaluation of the performance of the developmental
projects and other economic programme that have
already been implemented. According to Murthy
(2009) evaluation research can be of three types
namely con-current, periodic and terminal evaluation
research.
VI. DEVELOPMENT OF THE
CHECKLIST FOR EVALUATION
In order to develop a checklist for the evaluation
of the cost approach to valuation, this work took a
clue from the Scaling Method adopted by Ibiyemi
(2004). In his work, Ibiyemi (2004) developed a
scaling method for scoring the facilities required by
industries to meet up with the standards provided in
the National Environmental Protection (Pollution
Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating
Waste) Regulation of 1991. The scaling method is
presented in table 1 with necessary modifications.

Source: Adapted from Ibiyemi (2004)
From table 1, it could be seen that Ibiyemi
(2004) assigned 15% to establishment of pollution
monitoring unit in the industry, 10% to submission to
National Environmental Standards Regulation
Enforcement Agency (NESERA) the list of Chemical
used in production processes and their storage
condition, 15% to possession of pollution responses
machinery and equipment by the industry. Again
10% was assigned to availability of contingency plan
approved by NESERA, 10% to availability of
facilities for collection treatment transportation and
final disposal of waste generated by the industry,
10% to availability of NESERA discharge permit and
20% to installation in the industry a system of
pollution prevention equipment that will reduce the
release of gaseous, particulate, liquid or solid
untreated substances into the atmosphere or
surroundings. Finally, the method assigned 10% to
availability of evidence of preparation of
Environmental Audit Report (EAR). The scaling
method was then adapted for the development of a
checklist for the evaluation of the level of
compliance of the Cost Approach to Valuation to the
provisions of National Environmental Protection
(Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities
Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991 as follows:
a. Parameter one: This parameter evaluates the
establishment of pollution monitoring unit
within the premises of industry with
responsibility for pollution control assigned to
person or body accredited by NESERA. To
evaluate the ability of the cost approach to
valuation to meet this parameter, the checklist
will evaluate the following:
i. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the value of the Pollution Monitory Unit (PMU)
ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the depreciation level of the PMU
iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the PMU prevents / reduces
air and noise pollutions
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the PMU prevents or reduces
water pollution and
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the PMU prevents or reduces
soil pollution.
The checklist assigns 15% to this parameter and
a six scale evaluation method was adopted as follow:
Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, Poor and none.
The weighted marks assigned are 3.0 marks, 2.5
marks, 2.0 marks, 1.5 marks, 1.0 mark and 0 marks
respectively.
b. Parameter Two: Parameter 2 evaluates
submission of a list of all chemicals used in the
industrial processes to NESERA including
details of stored chemicals and storage
Aniagolu C. O et al. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com

condition. In order to evaluate this parameter,
the checklist will assess the following:
i. The ability of the Cost Approach to assess the
availability of the list of chemicals.
ii. The ability of the Cost approach to determine the
value of the storage facility.
iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the effect of the chemicals on air quality.
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the effect of the chemicals on water quality and
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the effect of the chemicals on soil quality.
As adapted from Ibiyemi (2004) this parameter
is assigned 10% and the same six scale evaluation
method adopted. However, the marks assigned to the
scales changed as follows 2.0 marks, 1.6 marks, 1.2
marks, 0.8 marks, 0.4 marks and 0 marks
respectively.
c. Parameter Three: Again this parameter
measures the possession of pollution response
machinery and equipment which are readily
available in the industry to combat pollution.
The evaluation by the checklist will assess the
following:
i. Ability of the Cost Approach to determine the
availability of such pollution response
machinery and equipment in the industry.
ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the cost and depreciation of the said machinery
and equipment.
iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to measure the
extent to which the said machinery and
equipment combat air and noise pollution in the
industry and its environs.
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the machinery and
equipment reduces water pollution
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the machinery and
equipment can combat soil pollution
This parameter carries 15%. Also the same six
scale evaluation method was adopted by the
checklist. The weighted scores are the same with
parameter one.
d. Parameter Four: Availability of a contingency
plan approved by NESERA in the industry is
assessed by parameter four. For the evaluation,
the checklist will assess the following:
i. The ability of the Cost Approach to assess the
availability of the contingency plan.
ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which this plan can help reduce air /
noise pollution
iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the said plan can prevent or
reduce water pollution
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the plan can prevent or
reduce soil pollution
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the contingency plan can
uphold industrial health and safety.
Parameter four is assigned 10% by the checklist.
Again the six scale evaluation method was used and
the weighted scores adopted in parameter two was
uphold.
e. Parameter Five: This parameter evaluates the
facilities for collection, treatment, transportation
and final disposal of solid waste from the
industry. The checklist will evaluate the
following:
i. The ability of Cost Approach to determine the
cost of the facilities.
ii. The ability of Cost Approach to determine the
depreciation of the waste management / disposal
facilities
iii. The ability of the Cost approach to determine the
efficiency of the waste disposal facilities
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the ratio of biodegradable and non-
biodegradable content of the solid waste
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the said facilities can reduce
or prevent soil pollution
The scaling method assigned 10% to this
parameter and the six scale evaluation method was
still adopted. The scores are the same as in
parameter two and four.
f. Parameter Six: Parameter six evaluates the
availability of NESERA discharge permit in the
industry. The checklist will as well assess the
following:
i. The ability of Cost Approach to assess the
availability of NESERA discharge permit
ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the discharge permit can
enhance the value of the industry
iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the discharge permit can help
reduce water pollution
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the discharge permit can help
reduce soil pollution
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the discharge permit can help
promote industrial health and safety
The checklist assigns 10% to this parameter.
The same six scale evaluation method was adopted
Aniagolu C. O et al. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com

and the weighted scores adopted in parameter two,
four and five were adopted.
g. Parameter Seven: Also parameter seven
evaluates the installation (in the industry) of
Environmental Pollution Prevention Equipment.
To assess this parameter the checklist will
evaluate the following:
i. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the cost of such environmental pollution
prevention equipment
ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the accrued depreciation of the equipment
iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which such equipment reduces
air/noise pollutions
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which such equipment reduces
water pollution
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the said equipment can help
reduce soil pollution
Parameter seven was assigned 20%. The six
scale evaluation criteria was also used for the
evaluation. However, the weighted scores for the
assessment are 4.0 marks, 3.5 marks, 3.0 marks, 2.5
marks, 2.0 marks and 0 marks respectively.
h. Finally, Parameter Eight: Parameter eight
evaluates the availability of Environmental
Audit Report (EAR) in the industry. In order to
assess this parameter, the evaluation checklist
will evaluate the following:
i. The ability of the Cost Approach to assess
the availability of the EAR in the industry
ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the report can help reduce
air/noise pollution
iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the EAR report can help
reduce water pollution
iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the report can help reduce
soil pollution
v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine
the extent to which the report can help uphold
industrial health and safety
Finally, parameter eight was assigned 10%. The
same six scale evaluation criteria was adopted
and the weighted scores are the same as in
parameters two, four, five and six.

From table 2, it could be seen that out of the
15% assigned to parameter one, cost approach
obtained 4%. Similarly out of the 10% assigned to
parameter two, the method obtained 2%. Again, out
of the 15% assigned to parameter three, the method
obtained 5%. Also parameter four was assigned 10%
and cost approach made 2%. Moreover, the
approach made 4% out of the 10% assigned to
parameter five and for parameter six, the approach
made 4% out of the allocated 10%. However, out of
the 20% assigned to parameter seven, the cost
approach obtained 6%. Finally, the method obtained
2% out of the 10% assigned to parameter eight. In
all, the cost approach to valuation obtained 29% out
of the allocated 100%.
VIII. TEST OF HYPOTHESIS
As stated in section 4.0 of this work, the null
hypothesis states that the cost approach to valuation
does not comply with the provisions of the National
Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in
Industries and Facilities Generating Waste)
Regulation of 1991. To test the hypothesis the
students “t” test was used. The result is presented as
follows:
a. At α = - 0.5, a two tailed test is applied giving
t = - 0.025; (14) = 2.145, - t, 0.025; (14) = -
2.145

c. Calculate;

d. Decision: Since t = 6.176 > 2.145, we accept Ho
and conclude that the Cost Approach to
valuation does not comply with the provisions of
the National Environmental Protection
(Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities
Generating Waste) Regulations of 1991.
IX. DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS:
Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Nigeria are
expected to play their role of environmental
protection advocates by protecting the environment
during property valuation exercise. Industries in
Nigeria are heavy polluters of the environment.
Valuers normally use the cost approach to valuation
for the valuation of industries because most
industries are not income producing and do not have
comparable sales evidence. This paper then tried to
evaluate the cost approach to valuation to determine
whether it complies with the provisions of the
National Environmental Protection (Pollution
Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating
Waste) Regulation of 1991.
The paper then tried to develop a checklist for
the evaluation. The checklist was adapted from
Ibiyemi (2004) as presented in table 1 (with slight
modifications). The parameters for the checklist
were eight in number and the checklist developed
five questions each for the eight parameters. The
scaling method proposed by Ibiyemi (2004) was also
adapted with slight modification. The evaluation
method adopted a six scale evaluation method of
Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, Poor, None.
The evaluation shows that out of the total of
100% assigned to the eight parameters, the cost
approach to valuation obtained only 29%. The result
from the evaluation was then used to test the
hypothesis which states that the Cost Approach to
valuation does not comply with the provisions of the
National Environmental Protection (Pollution
Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating
Waste) Regulation of 1991. The students “t” test
was used for the test of hypothesis. Since the
calculated t = 6.176 is greater than the table t =
2.145, we accepted the null hypothesis and rejected
the alternate hypothesis. We therefore concluded
that the cost approach to valuation as practiced in
Nigeria does not comply with the provisions of the
National Environmental Protection (Pollution
Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating
Waste) Regulation of 1991.
X. RECOMMENDATIONS
The paper recommends that the Cost Approach,
as used in Nigeria, should be applied with caution by
valuers in Nigeria since the method does not provide
an answer to industrial pollution in Nigeria. Rather
valuers should adopt new models such as the E-
factor Adjusted Cost Approach to Valuation as
proposed by Aniagolu (2009). This model was
developed to incorporate remedies to environmental
pollution. Also new models should be developed by
real estate researchers to help the valuer in practice to
remain relevant as environmental protection
advocates. The new trends in valuation should also
be included in the curriculum of tertiary institution in
Nigeria where courses in Estate Management and
property valuation are thought. Finally government
should make new laws or review already existing law
to ensure that all profession in Nigeria key into the
Systems Approach to environmental management in
Nigeria.
XI. CONCLUSION
This paper clearly shows that the cost Approach
to valuation (as practiced in Nigeria) does not

comply with the provisions of the National
Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in
Industries and Facilities Generating Waste)
Regulation of 1991. Valuers in Nigeria should
therefore use the method with caution if they will
continue being relevant as professionals in Nigeria.

Evaluation Of The Level Of Compliance Of Cost Approach To Valuation To Provisions Of Nigerian’s National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement In Industries And Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation Of 1991

  • 1. Aniagolu C. O et al. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 2, (Part - 2) February 2016, pp.12-19 www.ijera.com 12|P a g e Evaluation Of The Level Of Compliance Of Cost Approach To Valuation To Provisions Of Nigerian’s National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement In Industries And Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation Of 1991 Aniagolu C. O1; Odumodu, A. I2 and Anih, S. C3 Department of Estate Management Faculty of Environmental Sciences Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) 1,2,3 Abstract The cost approach to Valuation is one of the primary methods of valuation adopted in Nigeria by valuers in solving industrial valuation problems. The method is based on the principles of contribution and substitution. Generally, lacks of data, insecurity and instability in the Nigerian economy have made other models relatively, inapplicable in Nigeria situation. Hence majority of the valuations done in Nigeria adopts the cost approach. With recent focus of the world on environment, this paper tries to evaluate the level of compliance of this model to the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulations of 1991, since Estate Surveyors and Valuers are expected to play their role as environmental protection advocates. The study adopted the survey research method and data was generated using an evaluation checklist. The hypothesis developed was tested using the student “t” test and it was discovered that that Cost approach to valuation does not comply with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. The study recommended among other things that the model should be used with caution if Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Nigeria will continue to play their role as Environmental Protection advocates. KEY WORDS: Valuation, Pollution, Cost Approach, Environmental, Protection, Evaluation, Industries. I. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY According to Baum and Mackmin (1983), valuation is the art and science of estimating the value of interests in landed property. Commenting on this, Hemuka (1990) pointed out that valuation is an estimate because if depends on the expertise of the valuer, the type of data collected and the assumptions made by the valuer. However, Deane, Gray and Steel (1986) in their work defined valuation as a professionally derived estimate of value, which is based on supportable conclusions, arrived at through a thorough and logical process of analysis of facts and data at a point in time. Ifediora (2009) agreed to an extent with this definition because according to him valuation can only be accepted when it is done by a professional who has undergone elaborate training and has acquired some skill in the theories, principles, procedures and practice of valuation. The valuer in many countries of the world is equally expected to acquire some level of statutory recognition and are registered / licensed to practice. Ifediora (2009) however is not comfortable with the word “estimate” as used in the definition because it connotes, to most people, a rough approximation of the true value which could still or could have been obtained later had more careful investigation and analysis been made. He therefore stated that valuation could be defined as the art and science of determining, at some specific date, for a specific purpose or purposes, and by one authorized the monetary value of the property rights encompassed in an ownership; and the value so determined. Johnson, Davis and Shapiro (2000) opined that most standard textbook in valuation recognize five standard valuation methods. Kalu (2001) while attesting to this recognized the three primary methods of valuation as the market, income and cost approaches. Olusegun (2000) equally enumerated the secondary or hybrid methods of valuation as the profit and residual methods. Finally Ifediora (2009) pointed out a sixth method of valuation which is peculiar to Nigeria; the statutory method. However, for the valuation of industries and other facilities generating waste in Nigeria valuers have adopted the cost approach. This is because the method is used mostly for properties that are not income producing and have no comparables. Hence, the market and income approaches may be inapplicable due to dearth of information, lack of evidence of sales and general lack of information on circumstance surrounding sales.

  • 2. Aniagolu C. O et al. Int. Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 2, (Part - 2) February 2016, pp.12-19 www.ijera.com 13|P a g e Against this background this paper tries to evaluate the level of compliance of the cost approach to valuation to the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. II. PROBLEM OF THE STUDY The cost approach to valuation is founded on the principles of substitution and contribution (Egolum, 1993). According to Deane et al (1986), the principle of substitution suggests that a rational purchaser who is faced with several alternative choices which will provide the same level of satisfaction will choose the option which is cheapest. Similarly, the principle of contribution (or marginal productivity) stipulates that the value of any part of a property must be justified by its influence on the property’s productivity in generating additional amenities to the benefit stream. Kalu (2002) opined that the method is employed in situations where the investment method is inapplicable as a result of the nature of property and/or damage or degradation involved. Aluko (2004) also asserts that the method could also be used in situations where the market approach cannot be used due to dearth of comparables. Aniagolu quoting Kalu (2001) stated that the method can be used for the following types of properties (a) service properties or special use properties such as schools, hospitals, churches, institutions, municipal and government buildings, (b) special purpose industries (c) estimation of cost of repairs, modernization or rehabilitation of properties (d) any other type of property that is not income producing and does not have comparable sale evidence. Aniagolu, Iloeje and Emoh (2015) quoting Kalu (2001) stated that the method involves the following stages (a) the estimation of the value of land as if vacant (b) the estimation of the current cost of replacing the existing improvements (c) calculation of accrued deprecation (d) deduction of accrued depreciation from the replacement cost (new) to arrive at the depreciated replacement cost (DRC) and (e) the addition of the value of land to the DRC. Aniagolu (2009) argued that the environmental consideration in this method of valuation is implicit and is manifested in the value of land and in the computation of depreciation. Hence if we take Enugu, Nigeria as an example the value of land in independence layout or GRA is greater than that of Ogui New Layout and Uwani. The difference in value is attributed to differences in environmental qualities. Again, the method does not show in any way the contribution of the property in question to environmental degradation and the cumulative effect of environmental pollution as it relates to industries and other facilities generating waste in Nigeria. Since Estate Surveyors and Valuers are expected to play a major role as environmental protection advocates in Nigeria (NIESV, 1999) through valuation, this paper tries to evaluate the level of compliance of the cost approach to valuation (as operated in Nigeria) to the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. III. AIM AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY The aim of this study is to evaluate the level of compliance of the Cost Approach to Valuation to the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. To achieve this aim, this work intends to pursue the following line of objectives: (a) To develop a checklist that will assist the work in evaluating the method using the provisions of the law as stated in the aim. (b) To use the developed checklist to evaluate the cost approach to valuation accordingly. (c) To use the data generated from the said evaluation to test the relevant hypothesis. IV. RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS For proper investigation and testing of results from the evaluation checklist, the following hypothesis has been put forward; Ho: The cost approach to valuation does not comply with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. H1: The cost approach to valuation complies with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. V. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY The study made use of the evaluation research method. According to Odoziobodo and Amam (2007), Evaluation Research Method involves the collection of data about a person, a product or a technique of production. The aim of evaluation research is to take decisions about the character of the person, the value of the product or the soundness of the technique. Further, they pointed out that evaluation research could be in the form of formative evaluation, summative, character and action evaluations. Also Murthy (2009) opined that evaluation research is primarily directed to

Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 2, (Part - 2) February 2016, pp.12-19 www.ijera.com 14|P a g e evaluation of the performance of the developmental projects and other economic programme that have already been implemented. According to Murthy (2009) evaluation research can be of three types namely con-current, periodic and terminal evaluation research. VI. DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHECKLIST FOR EVALUATION In order to develop a checklist for the evaluation of the cost approach to valuation, this work took a clue from the Scaling Method adopted by Ibiyemi (2004). In his work, Ibiyemi (2004) developed a scaling method for scoring the facilities required by industries to meet up with the standards provided in the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. The scaling method is presented in table 1 with necessary modifications. Table 1: Ibiyemi (2004)’s Scaling Method S/N PARAMETERS CODE ASSIGNED SCALE 1. Pollution Monitoring Unit within the industrial premises with responsibility for pollution control assigned to a person or body accredited by NESREA A 15 2. Submission of a list of chemicals used in the industrial process including details of stored chemical and storage condition. B 10 3. Possession of pollution Response Machinery and Equipment which are readily available to combat pollution Hazards. C 15 4. Contingency Plan Approved by NESREA D 10 5. Facilities for collection, treatment, transportation and final disposal of solid waste E 10 6. Availability of NESREA discharge permit F 10 7. Installation of Environmental Pollution Prevention Equipment G 20 8. Evidence of preparation of Environmental Audit Report H 10 Source: Adapted from Ibiyemi (2004) From table 1, it could be seen that Ibiyemi (2004) assigned 15% to establishment of pollution monitoring unit in the industry, 10% to submission to National Environmental Standards Regulation Enforcement Agency (NESERA) the list of Chemical used in production processes and their storage condition, 15% to possession of pollution responses machinery and equipment by the industry. Again 10% was assigned to availability of contingency plan approved by NESERA, 10% to availability of facilities for collection treatment transportation and final disposal of waste generated by the industry, 10% to availability of NESERA discharge permit and 20% to installation in the industry a system of pollution prevention equipment that will reduce the release of gaseous, particulate, liquid or solid untreated substances into the atmosphere or surroundings. Finally, the method assigned 10% to availability of evidence of preparation of Environmental Audit Report (EAR). The scaling method was then adapted for the development of a checklist for the evaluation of the level of compliance of the Cost Approach to Valuation to the provisions of National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991 as follows: a. Parameter one: This parameter evaluates the establishment of pollution monitoring unit within the premises of industry with responsibility for pollution control assigned to person or body accredited by NESERA. To evaluate the ability of the cost approach to valuation to meet this parameter, the checklist will evaluate the following: i. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the value of the Pollution Monitory Unit (PMU) ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the depreciation level of the PMU iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the PMU prevents / reduces air and noise pollutions iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the PMU prevents or reduces water pollution and v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the PMU prevents or reduces soil pollution. The checklist assigns 15% to this parameter and a six scale evaluation method was adopted as follow: Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, Poor and none. The weighted marks assigned are 3.0 marks, 2.5 marks, 2.0 marks, 1.5 marks, 1.0 mark and 0 marks respectively. b. Parameter Two: Parameter 2 evaluates submission of a list of all chemicals used in the industrial processes to NESERA including details of stored chemicals and storage

Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 2, (Part - 2) February 2016, pp.12-19 www.ijera.com 15|P a g e condition. In order to evaluate this parameter, the checklist will assess the following: i. The ability of the Cost Approach to assess the availability of the list of chemicals. ii. The ability of the Cost approach to determine the value of the storage facility. iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the effect of the chemicals on air quality. iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the effect of the chemicals on water quality and v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the effect of the chemicals on soil quality. As adapted from Ibiyemi (2004) this parameter is assigned 10% and the same six scale evaluation method adopted. However, the marks assigned to the scales changed as follows 2.0 marks, 1.6 marks, 1.2 marks, 0.8 marks, 0.4 marks and 0 marks respectively. c. Parameter Three: Again this parameter measures the possession of pollution response machinery and equipment which are readily available in the industry to combat pollution. The evaluation by the checklist will assess the following: i. Ability of the Cost Approach to determine the availability of such pollution response machinery and equipment in the industry. ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the cost and depreciation of the said machinery and equipment. iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to measure the extent to which the said machinery and equipment combat air and noise pollution in the industry and its environs. iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the machinery and equipment reduces water pollution v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the machinery and equipment can combat soil pollution This parameter carries 15%. Also the same six scale evaluation method was adopted by the checklist. The weighted scores are the same with parameter one. d. Parameter Four: Availability of a contingency plan approved by NESERA in the industry is assessed by parameter four. For the evaluation, the checklist will assess the following: i. The ability of the Cost Approach to assess the availability of the contingency plan. ii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which this plan can help reduce air / noise pollution iii. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the said plan can prevent or reduce water pollution iv. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the plan can prevent or reduce soil pollution v. The ability of the Cost Approach to determine the extent to which the contingency plan can uphold industrial health and safety. Parameter four is assigned 10% by the checklist. Again the six scale evaluation method was used and the weighted scores adopted in parameter two was uphold. e. Parameter Five: This parameter evaluates the facilities for collection, treatment, transportation and final disposal of solid waste from the industry. The checklist will evaluate the following: i.

Journal of Engineering Research and Applications www.ijera.com ISSN: 2248-9622, Vol. 6, Issue 2, (Part - 2) February 2016, pp.12-19 www.ijera.com 18|P a g e From table 2, it could be seen that out of the 15% assigned to parameter one, cost approach obtained 4%. Similarly out of the 10% assigned to parameter two, the method obtained 2%. Again, out of the 15% assigned to parameter three, the method obtained 5%. Also parameter four was assigned 10% and cost approach made 2%. Moreover, the approach made 4% out of the 10% assigned to parameter five and for parameter six, the approach made 4% out of the allocated 10%. However, out of the 20% assigned to parameter seven, the cost approach obtained 6%. Finally, the method obtained 2% out of the 10% assigned to parameter eight. In all, the cost approach to valuation obtained 29% out of the allocated 100%. VIII. TEST OF HYPOTHESIS As stated in section 4.0 of this work, the null hypothesis states that the cost approach to valuation does not comply with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. To test the hypothesis the students “t” test was used. The result is presented as follows: a. At α = - 0.5, a two tailed test is applied giving t = - 0.025; (14) = 2.145, - t, 0.025; (14) = - 2.145 i.e the table value b. Calculate the pooled sample variance S2 p = (n1 – 1) S1 2 + (n2 – 1) S2 2 n1 + n2 – 1 = 8.27 c. Calculate; t = X1 – X2 – Δo Sp2 (1/n1 + 1/n2 ) = 6.176 d. Decision: Since t = 6.176 > 2.145, we accept Ho and conclude that the Cost Approach to valuation does not comply with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulations of 1991. IX. DISCUSSION OF FINDINGS: Estate Surveyors and Valuers in Nigeria are expected to play their role of environmental protection advocates by protecting the environment during property valuation exercise. Industries in Nigeria are heavy polluters of the environment. Valuers normally use the cost approach to valuation for the valuation of industries because most industries are not income producing and do not have comparable sales evidence. This paper then tried to evaluate the cost approach to valuation to determine whether it complies with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. The paper then tried to develop a checklist for the evaluation. The checklist was adapted from Ibiyemi (2004) as presented in table 1 (with slight modifications). The parameters for the checklist were eight in number and the checklist developed five questions each for the eight parameters. The scaling method proposed by Ibiyemi (2004) was also adapted with slight modification. The evaluation method adopted a six scale evaluation method of Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair, Poor, None. The evaluation shows that out of the total of 100% assigned to the eight parameters, the cost approach to valuation obtained only 29%. The result from the evaluation was then used to test the hypothesis which states that the Cost Approach to valuation does not comply with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. The students “t” test was used for the test of hypothesis. Since the calculated t = 6.176 is greater than the table t = 2.145, we accepted the null hypothesis and rejected the alternate hypothesis. We therefore concluded that the cost approach to valuation as practiced in Nigeria does not comply with the provisions of the National Environmental Protection (Pollution Abatement in Industries and Facilities Generating Waste) Regulation of 1991. X. RECOMMENDATIONS The paper recommends that the Cost Approach, as used in Nigeria, should be applied with caution by valuers in Nigeria since the method does not provide an answer to industrial pollution in Nigeria. Rather valuers should adopt new models such as the E- factor Adjusted Cost Approach to Valuation as proposed by Aniagolu (2009). This model was developed to incorporate remedies to environmental pollution. Also new models should be developed by real estate researchers to help the valuer in practice to remain relevant as environmental protection advocates. The new trends in valuation should also be included in the curriculum of tertiary institution in Nigeria where courses in Estate Management and property valuation are thought. Finally government should make new laws or review already existing law to ensure that all profession in Nigeria key into the Systems Approach to environmental management in Nigeria. XI. CONCLUSION This paper clearly shows that the cost Approach to valuation (as practiced in Nigeria) does not

Valuers in Nigeria should therefore use the method with caution if they will continue being relevant as professionals in Nigeria. REFERENCES [1] Aina, E.O.A.
