Abstract: The study carried out the bioremediation of crude oil impacted boggy soils in Goi community, Gokana LGA of Rivers state. Transect method of sampling was employed whereby soil samples were collected randomly from polluted and control soils for soil bioremediation treatments using separate experiments. Samples of polluted soils (P) and samples of substrates (cow dung (Cd) and poultry wastes (Pw)) were used for the bioremediation treatment procedures. Four (4) groups labeled A=control (CP only), B= (PCDPW), C= (PCD), and D= (PPW) were set up and replicated.......
