He said the figure represents 55 per cent of the total number of Nigerians that lacked access to electricity in the country.
Amaza said that the workshop was organised to increase awareness on the negative impacts of the use of the various sources of dirty energy, socially and mentally.
"The workshop was also organised ‎to create a transition from the use of inefficient energy sources to adoption of clean energy sources.
"‎We are here in Kano to enlight people and food vendors to make them tap the abundant energy opportunity which is clean and healthy through INNOVATIONS, solution, support and awareness while on the other hand to help them avoid the risk associated with using dirty fuel," he said.
According to him, many people still rely on fuelwood for cooking, pushing the rate of health risk and deforestation to alarming level.‎‎
