Atmosfair Climates & Sustainability, the makers of the innovative Save 80 Energy Efficient Clean Cook Stove, has reinforced its commitment to sustainable community development by donating solar-powered boreholes to three local communities in Kano, Jigawa, and Yobe States. This generous initiative, in collaboration with the National Agency for the Great Green Wall (NAGGW), aims to address the acute shortage of clean drinking water in these areas.

The benefiting communities include Nayi Nawa Bukka Shida in Nguru Local Government, Yobe State; Dan Tanoma Village in Gumel Local Government, Jigawa State; and Massalacin Juma’a Y’an Garki in Dakata, Nasarawa Local Government, Kano State.

The solar-powered boreholes are intended to provide a reliable and eco-friendly source of clean water, mitigating the risks associated with water-borne diseases. By addressing water scarcity, Atmosfair is also helping to reduce the time women and children spend collecting water from distant sources, thus allowing more time for education and economic activities. This initiative aligns with the NGO’s mission to promote environmental sustainability, improve health, and empower local communities.

Speaking at the commissioning ceremony, Alhaji Abdurahman Bawa, Director of Government Relations at Atmosfair Climates and Sustainability, highlighted the donation as part of the company’s broader corporate social responsibility commitment. “By harnessing solar energy, this project not only provides clean water to humans and animals but also promotes the use of renewable energy, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change,” Bawa stated.

According to Bawa, “At the local level, we are dedicated to making a positive impact in the communities we serve. Access to clean water is a basic human right, and we are proud to support the communities with this solar-powered borehole,” he added.

Community leaders, including Alhaji Lawan Ya’u Abdullahi, Chairman of Gumel Local Government, Jigawa State, expressed their gratitude and praised the two agencies for their dedication to community development. He urged his community members to take proper care of the project and emphasized the importance of sustainable solutions for long-term benefits. “The solar-powered borehole will make a huge difference to our daily lives, providing easy access to clean water,” Lawan added.

In his address to the communities, Engr. Ahmed Bagudo, Director of Forestry and Land Management at the National Agency for the Great Green Wall, introduced a climate-friendly cook stove as part of efforts to curb deforestation and protect women from the health implications of over-dependence on firewood. “We cook in our homes daily, and the methods we use to cook affect our health due to smoke inhalation and environmental pollution,” Bagudo explained.

Engr. Orezi Emeotu, Policy Manager, and Engr. Abdulrasheed Ahamad Imam, Sales and Business Development Manager for Atmosfair Climates and Sustainability, explained that the cook stove, a product of Atmosfair, is being produced by its Nigerian subsidiary. Atmosfair, a non-profit organization, actively contributes to CO2 mitigation by promoting, developing, and financing renewable energies.

This donation exemplifies Atmosfair’s holistic approach to climate change mitigation and adaptation, demonstrating its dedication to creating a healthier, more resilient future for vulnerable communities.

Insecurity: US lawmaker accuses Matawalle of bribe attempt to silence recommendation calling for his sack

Governor Matawalle

 

Kimberly Daniels, a United States Democratic member of the Florida House of Representatives for District 14, has alleged that Nigeria’s minister of state for defense, Bello Matawalle, attempted to bribe a US official to deflect the narrative of the United World Congress of Diplomats, UN-WCD, report.

The lawmaker made the claim in a viral video released on her official Facebook account on Monday.

She said Matawalle’s alleged move was to cover up the UN-WCD report on Christian genocide in Nigeria, which indicted him.

Daniels insisted that no amount of pressure can silence her stand against the killings of Christians in Nigeria.

“A US elected official was offered money by Nigeria’s minister of state defense, Bello Matawalle, to change the narrative of the UN-WCD Christian genocide in Nigeria report,” she said in the viral video.

Recall that Daniels, who doubled as the chairperson of UN-WCD, had called for President Bola Tinubu to remove Matawalle over alleged complicity in the killings in Plateau, Benue, Kaduna, and other parts of Nigeria.

Matawalle is yet to officially reply the US lawmaker.

Daniels alleged that following her recent press statement on what she described as targeted killings of Christians in Nigeria, she came under pressure from individuals she linked to the minister, including what she characterised as attempts to discredit her report and “buy support” from US-based elected officials.

According to her, an unnamed American lawmaker allegedly received an offer of financial inducement to publicly counter her position and defend the Nigerian defence leadership.

She claimed to have received evidence of a communication, including a prepared statement and promotional material, purportedly linked to the minister.

She also claimed that the bribery attempt is meant to divide America elected officials not knowing that they are united.

The memo also directed Dangiwa to hand over to the Minister of State in the ministry.

The memo stated that “all handing over and taking over processes should be completed on or before close of business on Thursday 23rd April, 2026.”

Explaining the President’s decision, Akume said: “These changes are aimed at strengthening cohesion, synergy in governance as well as achieving more impactful delivery on the economy to Nigerians, through the Renewed Hope Agenda.”

He said the President, in approving the cabinet reshuffle, has fully exercised his powers as conferred on him by Sections 147 and 148 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999, as amended).

The President thanked the outgoing ministers for their services to the nation while wishing them the best in all their future endeavours.

The President, Akume noted, equally assured all cabinet members that “the process of reinvigoration shall be continuous.”
