The Nigerian federal government has launched a national initiative to incorporate electric cooking into the country's Clean Cooking Policy. This initiative aims to attract investment, enhance access to clean energy, and decrease reliance on firewood and other polluting cooking fuels.

Stakeholders in Nigeria's climate, energy, and development sectors are working to launch an 80 million clean cookstoves program. This initiative aims to reduce household air pollution, curb deforestation, expand access to clean energy, and create economic opportunities for millions of Nigerians. The program is being led by Greenplinth Africa Limited under the theme, "Clean Cooking Access."

According to Punch, an adviser to Lagos Governor Sanwo-Olu has emphasized that Nigeria's clean cooking initiative has the potential to enhance economic growth, generate employment opportunities, and improve public health. The initiative aims to promote cleaner cooking methods across the country.

A global report released by the WHO and partners indicates that over 655 million people worldwide lack access to electricity, while nearly two billion depend on polluting fuels for cooking. This situation poses significant health risks and exacerbates existing inequalities, highlighting a potential global energy and health crisis.

The Federal Government has launched a 505kW solar mini-grid in Epe, Lagos, with plans for an additional 5MW expansion aimed at enhancing electricity access and supporting economic growth.

The Association of Nigerian Licensed Customs Agents (ANLCA) has urged the Federal Government to suspend the Green Tax Policy on imported vehicles, which is set to begin on July 1, 2026. They argue that there has been insufficient engagement with key stakeholders, particularly by the Nigeria Customs Service, regarding the implementation of the policy.
