The Presidential Committee on Gas Transition has been commended for its commitment to promoting clean energy solutions.
Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman Ibrahim, gave the commendation during a session with the Committee, led by its chairman Prof. Mohammed M. Ibrahim, in Abuja.
She praised the committee for recognising the significant roles of women in achieving Nigeria’s energy transition goals, expressing the ministry’s readiness to partner with the committee towards ensuring that more women, especially those in rural communities, benefit from clean cooking initiatives.
Professor Ibrahim said the committee is focused on improving access to clean energy solutions that will positively impact women’s health, livelihoods, and well being.
She highlighted the critical need to transition Nigerian households from traditional cooking methods, such as firewood and charcoal, to clean cooking technologies powered by Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and other sustainable energy sources.
