NGThe Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA), in collaboration with IHS Nigeria, distributed 10,000 Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders and refill vouchers to households in 18 communities across the six Area Councils of the FCT under the 'Project Breathe Clean Air Abuja.' The initiative aimed to reduce indoor air pollution and related health risks, particularly for women and children who are most affected by smoke from traditional cooking fuels like firewood, charcoal, and kerosene. According to the project's monitoring and evaluation, there were notable improvements in household air quality after switching to LPG. Handheld air quality sensors measured PM2.5 levels in participating households, showing that pollution levels previously exceeded WHO guidelines but improved significantly after adopting LPG. The project also included advocacy efforts with community leaders and plans to install outdoor air quality sensors for real-time environmental data.
