Women in Agege local government area of Lagos state have been encouraged to adopt a more eco-friendly way of cooking.
The sole administration of the local government Gbenga Abiola gave out more than four hundred cooking gas stoves to women, as part of efforts to stop deforestation.
Abiola says the gesture is in line with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode’s desire to run an inclusive government and improve the standard of living.
