In an effort to combat soil degradation in the North-Western part of the country, the Federal Government of Nigeria has sensitised women from the region about the “Save80 clean cook stove.”

Launching the sensitisation programme in Kebbi State on Sunday, the Director-General of the National Council on Climate Change, Mr Salisu Dahiru, described indiscriminate felling of trees as one factor that always accelerates the effect of climate change in Nigeria, adding that the action automatically made the areas where trees were felled open to soil degradation.

According to Dahiru, the Save80 clean cook stove was designed to tackle the rampant felling of trees in the zone toward disaster management and protection against climate change in the environment.

In his words, “Aside the health benefit of emitting less smoke, the stainless-steel stove is durable and affordable, compared to the cost of a gas cylinder, refilling of gas or buying kerosene.”

Speaking at the event, the Unity Bank Regional Manager, Malam Aliyu Moyi, said his institution would create a database for its customers in accessing the stove.

“This is with the benefits of spreading payment for a period of 12 months, at no interest cost but a minimal service charge,” he said.

Earlier, in his presentation titled: “Deforestation and use of Clean Cook Stove”, Dr Suleiman Gambo of Bayero University Kano (BUK), described the development as a great driver of the economy.

According to Gambo, the Save80 clean cook stove is an investment in technology that not only improves the economy, ecology, and health but also saves time and energy.

The Monitoring and Database Manager, Atmospheric Climate and Sustainability Limited, Mr Kumden Nanbal, also spoke and demonstrated how to light the stove.

He noted that the stove comes with two stainless steel pots and a “wonder box” to retain heat from the pot.

Alhaji Faruk Yabo, the former Nigerian ambassador to Jordan, a representative of the Kebbi State government, and traditional leaders were among the dignitaries present.
