The Yobe state Focal person on UN Women
Commends Governor Mai Mala Buni, CON,
for the commendable initiative to support bean cake (akara) sellers across the state with energy-efficient cooking stoves, bags of beans, and cooking oil through the ministry of wealth creation and empowerment.
This intervention is a significant step towards promoting renewable energy, reducing dependence on traditional cooking methods, and improving the livelihoods of women who make up the majority of small-scale food vendors. By easing production costs and encouraging cleaner cooking solutions, the initiative contributes to poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, and women's economic empowerment.
In an interview with journalists,the Focal Person, UN Women, recognizes this as a practical example of climate-responsive and gender-inclusive governance. Investing in women-owned businesses not only strengthens household incomes but also advances sustainable development and community resilience.
We appreciate the Yobe State Government for this thoughtful intervention and encourage the continued implementation of policies and programmes that empower women, promote clean energy, and accelerate inclusive economic growth across the state.
