The federal government, through the Ministry of Petroleum Resources , and private sector players have partnered to donate 1,000 cooking gas cylinders to low-income households in the six area councils of the FCT.
"We're not only introducing a programme today; we're on a mission to change millions of Nigerians' lives in our six geographical zones. By 2030, we want to convert 250,000 houses a year to clean cooking gas, which is a lofty but attainable target." Minister of Youths, Dr Jamila Bio Ibrahim, described the event as a ground-breaking initiative that would impact millions of Nigerians who used firewood, charcoal and kerosene.
He urged the beneficiaries to deploy the usage with safety in mind in order not to endanger their families.
