The global concern for the environmental impact of the construction industry necessitates the implementation of safeguards and heightened environmental awareness. Initiatives, including government regulations, educational programs, and technology integration, aim to promote sustainable practices. Positive outcomes, such as green building practices, waste reduction, and biodiversity conservation, demonstrate progress. Community engagement and regulatory compliance are vital, while economic benefits underscore the importance of adherence to environmental safeguards. It is for this reason that this research seeks to bring to the fore the extent of awareness and compliance to global ESS practices in the construction industry in Adamawa Sate, especially as all efforts are geared towards resettling the displaced persons who had been dispersed by Boko Haram insurgents in the last decade. For a robust research outcome, accurate information on environmental and social safeguards implementation in Adamawa state, Nigeria, requires that reference is made to recent surveys and interviews with stakeholders. Recognizing the need for improvement and identifying specific strengths and weaknesses through strategic interventions can enhance the effectiveness of Environmental and Social Safeguard (ESS) monitoring. Follow-up actions and feedback mechanisms are crucial for continuous improvement. Identifying specific areas for improvement in ESS policy enforcement and conducting further investigations through surveys or focus groups can provide varying insights. Future research and interventions should address diverse opinions within the construction industry, ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive approach to environmental and social safeguards. The outcome of this research endeavor reveals a generally positive outlook, with 69% of respondents expressing favorable opinions. High environmental awareness, regulatory compliance, and community engagement showcase positive trends. However, diverse opinions, attributed to awareness challenges and resource constraints, highlight the need for ongoing efforts. Continued collaboration among stakeholders is crucial for fostering a universally positive stance towards sustainable and socially responsible construction practices in the region.
