In its campaign against climate change and environmental degradation across the country, the National Council on Climate Change has introduced a cooking device called Atmosfair Save80 Clean Cookstoves to North-East households.
Introducing the stove, the Director-General of the NCCC, Salisu Dahiru, on Thursday, in Maiduguri, Borno State capital, described the device as a climate-friendly device that would help address challenges of climate change and reverse environmental degradation in the North-East states.
Speaking at a one-day sensitization campaign for the North-East on the new cooking device, Dahiru said the stove is aimed at curtailing the use of firewood by 80 percent.
The NCCC steersman, represented by his Special Adviser, Mahmud Yusuf, said one of the major causes of deforestation in Nigeria is the widespread use of firewood.
This, he said has resulted in the loss of trees and forests, hence the need to involve women to save Nigeria’s ecosystem.
