The fuel
efficient stoves demonstration held at the Yaba local government of Lagos on
the 25th of July 2012,served as an enlightenment for the women in the local
government on how one can use fuel
efficient stoves, in attendance at the demonstration were commercial food
sellers ,and regular individuals who use stoves in their homes.
It is a known
fact that Nigeria is faced with the challenges of deforestation especially In
the Northern part of Nigeria where almost all the tree are gone as a result of
excessive use of firewood.
The
coordinating NGO –CCDI stressed the advantage of using these stoves to help
reduce deforestation, curbs the health hazards associated with using firewood
as a result of heavy smoke, reduces communal clashes etc.
The fuel
efficient stoves came in various sizes and their prize ranges from N17,000 to
N3,500,so depending on one’s income ,there are options to choose from, although the women were
optimistic about using these stoves, some of them had these questions to ask?

stoves readily available?

of them afford these stoves?

commercial food vendors use these stoves?
