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.
