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 will certainly miss that firewood flavour in Xmas####
It's all good, let's wait and see how many people will get hold of it #onelovefromSnow#
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.
Your comment will be visible after approval
Really we cannot make our own stoves?

Are you kidding me?

I hope say dem go buy d stove, abi mke one oga come turn am to him business..
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.

Lmaooo.... This is just hillarious, am guessing they will be the once buying kerosine for them every month...... Provide jobs for them and social amenities rather than this rubbish....

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
U give them stove and then increase price of kerosene.... Who are they fooling! All plans to syphon money against election.. God is watching una in 3D
Linda u wicked ooo won't u wish all Africans american happy thanksgiving..
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
OLE - BARAWO BANZA, THIEF THIEF! GOD SAVE NIGERIA! AUSTERITY MEASURES TO "HELP" NIGERIAN RURAL WOMEN?!!!

Stomach infrastructure ... clueless government
What is wonder bag? It is time we start telling our people truth with sample words. Is it charcoal or what?
Another idiot has cooked up another half assed scheme to defraud the country! 9.2bn? If you get the stove what about kerosene, nobody thought of that? 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!!! Their tenure done end, them wan tif last tif!
Ok ooo...9ce1 iyanufemi2@gmail.com
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...
#Commenting thru Glo 4G LTE
I hope dy will buy it really.
Wonder bags ko Cooking stove ni. Government magic to cost about 100k each. There is Godooooo.
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.
Stove for the women? Plz wh is going to distribute and how?

Whalai 9ja don finish. Thanks to the present greedy govt. How can 9.2billion be use to purchase stoves? when basic infrastructures are yet to function. Bad roads, no constant electricity yet they wan buy stoves for rural women. My God of truth, pls expose jonathan badluck. Save my country from these scavengers.
Hmmm ok
Cooking stove how? In 2015? Purchase not produce, What happened to ajaokuta steel? Dumb ass they need empowerment and employment!! Hold on I get the joke 9.2B for stove then 10.8B for kerosene allowance another 20B missing. Ode stop fooling us. Just take all the money its ur time but I bet u none of ur generation will make it to heaven if u continue stealing our money!!
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.
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!”
Okay and the food to cook nko?ndi oshi!!
Hope the stoves is with kerosene for life oooo.......God save us from this our leaders ( See initiative).....Obo ngbe Obo gun ope......"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.
And who go buy d keroSIN?
Nobi naija we dey watch out one person go so corner the 20m stove n begin to sell am 5000 just watch out
JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ahhhhhh Linda JESUS ahhh this country is finished JESUS stove HMMMMMMMMM

That smell of it on jellof rice is divine
By the way 9.2bn?
Haaba d stove come with magical food for 10 yrs ni
sounds nice but funny.i wonder wettin dem wan take stove do.honestly this is very comedic
The FG wants to buy stove for pple wen d cost of kerosine is on d high side. Why nt make kerosine available nd at a subsidized rate first........
When d women can't afford kerosine dey will simply pack d stove nd go bak to their firewood.
This is Arant Nonsense. You give them stove you no give them kerosine. who is fooling who ?
God punish devil. Can someone pls tell them to build a world class hospital instead or schools in these rural areas?
Dey shld share 100000 each 2 d women, I think dat will benefit us most
Sallysmart
Mehn 9ja is screwed,bad n screwed Govt. R we going. 4ward or. Backward? Stove @ dis century, let's say Ok stove, d cost of kerosene is rather on d high side,an average man can't afford it. 9.2Billion 4. Stoves? His he sharing it 4 d whole west Africa, C'mon GEJ has failed as a president, Nigerian pls be wise wen electing ur candidate next year
Jonathan is d number one corrupt man in this country, such hug amount to buy just stove haha haha I feel for country.
So stomach infrastructure don reach federal... Ok now
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....
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.
Will dey also provide dem kero frm time to time
Am really disappointed in this gov't,that's not what we need,pls someone should advice my president wisely this ridiculous,Nigerians are turned to laughing stock.pls oga GEJ lead us well.
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...
9.2bn just to buy stove...how much be stove??omo this our government sabi thief sha.This. One na strategy o...oh jesus no forget this country o.We. follow for people you die for...A beg no forget us.
1 stove @ N460. Na wa oo.
Jesus this one na day light legal robbery ooo..how many stoves do dey intend buying..na boko haram go kill all of dem
avenue for more stealin make i hear any body wea go support that nonsense stuff wea dy wan do
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.
Bros government please who will give the poor women money for kerosene???!! Abi u think it is by stove alone??? #smh
Election money. , bastards have the women seen food to eat , and you are budgeting stove
Asin ehn,serious madness. Use dt money (or add a Lil 2 it) & build a train station frm lagos 2 akwa ibom, frm akwa ibom to sokoto. And c is d ol country won't applaud u. Or evn an int'l standard hospital.
Rubbish eshew!
Ahhhh come on Jona and PDP what kind of contract is this, don't you have any conscience anymore. N9.2b for stove? where is the food that they will use the stove to cook, kerosene for the stove nko and do u have an idea what the cost of kerosine is at this all. The same govt came and said people should tighten their belts becos of dwindling oil prices. Come on now Jonathan, fear God, fear God ohhh this money will never be enough for the reward of all this corruption.
9.2bn for stove? R they trying to say we will be getting stove free in d market? Or we will be buying at a higher price?
Wont it be better if they can transfer 1m to 1000000 nigerian acct? N from there we can buy stove ourselves... Stupid pple jst looking for anyways to get 2015 election money
HAHHAHAHAAHA,We need steady light first and these guys are talking about cooking stove,my grand mother cooked with fire wood and even lived for over a hundred years,my mum cooked with gas and live for only 50, abeggyyy
useless people, purchase of stove with how many gallons of kerosene? Yeye set of people
