FG approves the purchase of N9.2bn cooking stoves for rural women

The Federal Executive Council yesterday approved the purchase of N9.2bn worth of cooking stoves and ‘wonder bags’ for rural women under the National Clean Cooking Scheme.

Speaking with state house correspondence after the FEC meeting, the Supervising Minister of Information, Dr. Nurudeen Muhammed said the scheme which is a federal government initiative, is geared towards reducing the use of firewood among rural women in Nigeria.
"The National Clean Cooking Scheme is an aggressive drive to engender clean cooking culture amongst the poor rural women, to reduce and possibly eliminate cooking with solid fossil which is detrimental to health. The scheme is expected to provide 20 million clean stoves over a five-year period at the rate of four million stoves per annum, which will be distributed free of charge. It will also reduce incessant felling of trees, which exposes the country to ecological problems” he said.

The Minister said N9.2bn, inclusive of Value Added Tax, was approved for the procurement of 750,000 units of clean cooking stoves and 18,000 wonder bags, a non-electric slow cooker invented by Sarah Collins, a South African eco-entrepreneur, who came up with the idea of surrounding the pan with cushions six years ago during a power cut in her country.

He said the stoves were expected to be delivered by Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited within a period of 12 weeks.

Minister of Environment Mrs. Lawrecia Mallam who also spoke on the initiative, said the government decided to purchase the cooking stoves for the rural women because it considers cooking with firewood a silent killer.

I am positive the total cost of the all the stoves needed is not up to that outrageous amount of money. Its another avenue for some government officials to embezzle public fund.

9.2bn is rather too much for the purchase of a stove...this money should have been used for something better. Our government can consider irrelevant things and expect us the citizens to appreciate them over nothing....this is so not a scheme its fraud.

These women know where they sell stoves if they want them . When kerosene becomes a hassle they will revert back to good old firewood. This dumb people don't just get it. It is the lack of kerosine at an affordable price that is the issue. Besides nothing beats firewood jollof rice.. Stove or no stove. Lol

And doesn't the smoke the stoves emit dangerous to the ecosystem? And as for the slow burning stoves, how much will the contractor; who is obviously a member of the government, gonna take home at the end of the day?! Thieves!!!

Electricity is inactive. 9.2b naira is enough to solve cogent problem in power holding instead of cooking stoves & wonder bags.
Why do our leaders act adamant & insensitive. Electricity has been an issue for so many years now, & 9.2bn will be squander just like that. I weep for my country, for real...

This can't be true, state house contractors, those who supplied what fed, government uses everyday to make the government what is it is being owed for years b cos they claim there is no money. So where did they get the money for such contract.i heard the total some the are owing them is around 2 billion but can't pay them, I know of a man who sold all he has to execute contract there, he is suffering stroke as a result of the debt.

Yet they say, they are looking for austerity major to curb the effect of the fall of fuel price. Well nigerians we alone can get ourselves out of this mess of bad leadership.

Unknown said...

The following scenarios quickly came to my mind: 1. The FG is trying to woo the rural dwellers with bogus gifts against 2015 elections 2. The FG is looking for avenues to siphon funds in preparation for 2015 elections 3. The FG has become so devoid of ideas, it has chosen an elaborate but mediocre way of ‘touching’ the lives of the citizenry. Whichever one it is, it goes to further prove the obliviousness of this administration. Indeed, ”Yeye dey smell!”

Nigerians half baked illiterates since 1800s..... Did it say the stove used kerosene? One person says something stupid and u all follow like mumu.... Can't u all read and comprehend before commenting? It's a slow cook stove and doesn't use kerosene nor firewood according to the article.... Am sure it will be coal since from the picture of the stove u can't use kerosine with it..... I doubt if this will be of much use to rural women cos this stove being a slow cook one is suitable for most oyibo foods which has less cooking time than our African foods that stay on fire for long..... How will this cater for very large families that use big pots in the villages? Anyway someone has just won a juicy contract which is what the whole thing is all about....

Ahmed Obasanjo said...

FG is mad gaaaaaaan ni ooo, 9.2bn for what? Haaaaa! I can't shout. As an economist, I'd say it's time we go back to our old ways, FG shud jst spend N100m instead for fire woods, stones, matches and rubber to make a nice aro for cooking. No be make food done? Nigeria women will understand.

If that huge chunk of money was paid to a Nigerian student or a group of students to mass produce their scientific innovation of a type of stove that uses bio-fuel or something. Then I 'may' say that we have a good government but wasteful. But right now, all I see Is an evil government that care more about d forth-coming election and their strive to generate enough fund for their campaign and thingssss... But amidst all this unpleasant and annoying sort of news, I do know one thing for sure. Nigeria go survive, Africa go survive, my ppl go survive ooooo Nigeria go survive. Mac10...

Exactly my thought. After spending years & money in our institution they tell us to b self employed that we should b patriotic & creative. Y can't they develop theses gas stoves here? Y can't they encourage & empower d youth ? Another avenue to steal. We are not serious in this country.
