Clean Cooking
Firewood Alternative
Energy Transition
The Nigerian government has announced plans to transition one million households from firewood-based cooking to clean energy solutions, aiming to reduce deforestation, indoor air pollution, and health risks associated with traditional cooking methods.
Officials emphasize that the initiative will promote the adoption of cleaner alternatives like LPG, biogas, and electric cooking, improving air quality and enhancing public health. The transition also aligns with Nigeria’s commitment to sustainable energy and climate change mitigation.
With millions still relying on firewood, the government urges stakeholders to support policies that encourage clean cooking technologies, ensuring a healthier environment and a more sustainable future.
