Environment Ministry, CSR Collaborate To Scale Clean Cooking For 4M Homes

The Honourable Minister of the Federal Ministry of Environment, Balarabe Abbas Lawal, has met with CSR Solutions Ltd to advance a nationwide clean cooking initiative that aims to positively impact over 4 million households across Nigeria.

The program is designed to replace the use of harmful traditional fuels such as firewood and charcoal with cleaner, solar-powered cooking solutions. This partnership is a major step toward improving public health and reducing environmental degradation caused by indoor air pollution and deforestation.

This clean cooking program not only addresses pressing environmental and health concerns, but also supports economic empowerment by creating new jobs along the solar technology and clean energy value chains. By providing safer cooking alternatives, it will reduce respiratory diseases and health costs for millions of families, while also stimulating local economies through sustainable energy production and distribution networks.
