The study examined issues bordering sustainability and resource use in Solid Mineral Extraction Industry in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria. Multi-stage random sampling was used to select five (5) Local Government Areas and subsequently five (5) communities were purposively sampled from the selected local Government Areas totalling 25. Primary data were collected with structured questionnaires, interview and field survey. Chi-square was used to examine the impact of stakeholders on management of solid mineral extraction in the environment. The result indicated a value of 204.565 at p<0.05. This shows that stakeholders contribute significantly to the management of sand mining environment in Akwa Ibom State. The researchers recommend that stakeholders in the solid mineral exploration industry should re-direct their interest toward post-management of resource-degraded environment so as to restore resource-degraded ecosystem for further land use purposes.
