The Nigerian government has approved N9billion for the distribution of 750, 000 Clean Cook Stoves and 18,000 Wonder bags to Nigerians, in a bid to stop the depletion of forest resources caused by indiscriminate felling of trees.
The approval followed a memo presented by the Minister of Environment, Laurentia Mallam, at the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting the Federal Government.
The stoves and wonder bags, meant for women in the rural areas, would be distributed under the National Clean Cooking Scheme, NCCS, which seeks to stem the use of solid fossils like firewood and charcoal for cooking.
I hope the government will reduce the price of kerosine so the supposed users of the stove can afford and consequently use the stove. Else in no time they would go back to using firewood and coal and the monies used to buy this "Clean Cook stoves" would be wasted while the "Clean Cook stoves" would be a monument in their household. #justsaying
