Jobs And Green Energy: FG Moves To Unlock Carbon Funds For Nigerians
The Federal Government will fast-track carbon finance approvals to expand clean cooking across Nigeria.
Minister Balarabe Lawal said the Carbon Market Activation Plan will attract investors, create jobs, and reduce firewood use. Over $100 million in projects are stalled, causing layoffs, according to the Nigerian Alliance for Clean Cooking.
A new clean cooking department and multi-stakeholder committee will be set up to ensure policies reach vulnerable households.
