Background and Objective:The occupational risks associated with exposure from radioactivity concentration of soil from oil and gases producing coastal areas of Nigeria have been assayed after sixty years of exploration activities in the area, to ascertain the radiological impact on the oil field workers and host communities. This study observes the occupational risk from natural occurring radioactive materials in soil samples. Materials and Methods: Gamma spectrometric technique was used to determine the radiometric in the soil samples collected using highly efficient thallium activated 3"×3" gamma spectrometer. Results: The mean activity concentration of the three natural radionuclides of 40 K, 238 U and 232
