Minister of State for Environment Sharon Ikeazor stated this at the 2021 Nigeria Clean Cooking Forum, organised by the ministry, in Abuja, with the theme: Clean Cooking Energy for All in Nigeria, Achieving the Nationally Determined Contributions”.
She noted that the aim of the forum was to discuss the implementation plans towards achieving the clean cooking targets in the NDCs as well as taking stock of current status of clean cooking activities in the country.
The Minister said the forum was also to review existing policies and practices that relate to clean cooking for the country. According to her, if current policies are allowed to continue; by 2030, 60 per cent or more of all households in Nigeria will still be cooking with traditional biomass.
Sharon however appreciated the support and contribution of the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cookstoves and International Centre for Energy, Environment and Development, in promoting clean and more efficient cooking technologies.
