The National Agency For Science and Engineering Infrastructure (NASENI) has distributed 350 smokeless stoves and pressure pots to rural women and households in Bagudo local government area of Kebbi State.
The gesture which approved by President Muhammadu Buhari through NASENI is to discourage the use of firewood and minimise deforestation in the state and the country.
While distributing the items to beneficiaries alongside the executive vice chairman and chief executive of NASENI, Prof Mohammed Sani Haruna and other top government officials on behalf of NASENI yesterday in Bagudo town, Governor Abubakar Atiku Bagudu acknowledged the development strides engineered by Buhari in Kebbi State, the North West and Nigeria.
He urged people of the state to reciprocate the gesture by voting for Tinubu/Shattima and other APC candidates at all levels in the forthcoming general elections.
He also warned beneficiaries of the gesture not to misplace or sell the items as officials would monitor the handling.
