A Sustainability and Climate Change Consultant at Pricewaterhouse Coopers, Dr Mohammed Aminu, has said lesser dependence on importation of cooking gas, increase in local production, and improvement in requisite infrastructure to improve access to end-users could help to reduce the cost of the commodity.
Aminu, in an interview with our correspondent, explained that many Nigerians were using unclean fuel even before the price increase, but that the renewed use could reverse the positive steps so far achieved in climate change mitigation. He added that it could put the country at the risk of depleting its remaining forest cover, as well as destroy the wildlife that depends on forest habitats for survival.
So apart from the cost of cooking gas, it is worthwhile to also consider improving access to modern sources of energy for millions of Nigerians. There is also a need to curb illegal logging which at present is a profitable business in Nigeria that contributes to the fast-shrinking of woodlands and rainforests.”
