“…It was recommended that the agencies and companies from environmental regulatory and oil exploration respectively should be able to assist in decreasing the natural gaseous substance flaring in order to reduce the damage of crop produce. Otene et al (2016) studied the prospective contraction of carbon-dioxide (CO2) radiations from flared natural gas in Nigerian raw oil and natural gas commercial enterprise directly from different generative usage. The model adopted was the Long-range Energy Alternative Planning System (LEAP) software in order to create alternative projection between the energy demand and carbon-dioxide radiations to the year 2030.…”

The crude oil exploration leads to the flaring gas, which affects Nigerian economic sustainability. The empirical study is to inquire about the profitable (economic) sustainability of the flaring of natural gaseous substances in Nigeria. The survey is to employ the ready-made design through the National Bureau of Statistics, Central Bank of Nigeria Statistical Bulletin, Department of Petroleum Resources, and World Development Indicators. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model and Augmented Dickey-Fuller test are employed as the estimation technique and unit root test for long-range presence association between the exogenous and explained variables. The findings of the study showed an insignificantly positive outcome of profitable (economic) growth on natural gas flaring in Nigeria. The current employment rate showed a positively insignificant impact on the gas flare. The current oil revenue value showed a positively significant impact on gas flaring. Meanwhile, the oil revenue lag showed an insignificantly negative impact on Nigerian naturally flared gaseous substances. The research recommends that the relevant natural gas authorities should put in place stringent laws to reduce the flaring of natural gas consequences to the well-being of humans, the environment, and the economic growth and development of the country. Alternatively, the government should encourage sound and viable gas flaring processes of industrial and domestic usage.

“…Looking at the use of an energy source as indicator of the 'environmental' and 'resilience' outcomes with a focus on climate mitigation and adaptation levels, the variability across Kibera villages is high. The use of LPG is the most sustainable alternative for an energy source in Kenya, because it emits less carbon-dioxide than most conventional fossil fuels and no black carbon, which is the second biggest contributor to climate change [38]. In Kibera, the variability of energy use is low across the villages, and the average among household users is estimated to be 36%.…”

Food Systems in Informal Urban Settlements—Exploring Differences in Livelihood Welfare Factors across Kibera, Nairobi

et al. 2022

The number and sizes of informal settlements are expected to increase drastically in the future, and dramatically so in Sub-Saharan Africa, where migration from rural to urban areas is increasing, and poverty and food insecurity threaten livelihoods. Data sources explaining livelihood factors in informal settlements are scarce, and often highly disputed. In this study, Kibera is investigated, one of the largest informal settlements in Africa. The main aim is to analyze differences in livelihood factors across the villages in Kibera, and to explain some of the existing discrepancies in food security levels among its population. In particular, livelihood factors such as tribe, welfare and trust can explain some of the variation in food security across 12 of the 13 villages located in Kibera. The analyses inform of significant differences across the villages when it comes to, among others, income, food insecurity, ownership of land in rural areas, tribal background and trust levels in strangers and community leads. To reach the millions of people living in informal settlements now, and increasingly so in the future, it is advised that research and implementation go hand in hand, with enhanced understanding of the complexities within rural–urban food systems to ensure solutions that are affordable and accessible to low-income groups. On this pathway to fight poverty and hunger in the future, today’s policies and programs must take such complexities into account to positively contribute to strengthening the resiliency and sustainability of rural–urban food systems by ensuring an increase in welfare levels with zero climate impact.

“…The electricity crisis in Nigeria has created a thriving multi-billion dollar business niche for small power generating sets. It is estimated that between 22 and 60 million generating sets are in use in Nigeria (Nigerian Energy Support Programme, 2015;Otene et al, 2016;Osae-Brown and Olurounbi, 2019). It logically follows that any resolution of the energy crisis would result in the demise of this sector.…”

Nigeria's quest for alternative clean energy development: A cobweb of opportunities, pitfalls and multiple dilemmas

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Nigeria has made pledges at various international fora to mainstream renewable energy in its energy mix. In keeping with these pledges, the country's domain for alternative clean energy development is filled with multitudinous policy documents. This paper undertakes a systematic appraisal of the subsisting opportunities, pitfalls and dilemmas surrounding Nigeria's quest for alternative clean energy development. The data for this paper are generated from key informant interviews as well as formal policy documents and scholarly archival materials. The paper finds a huge gap between setting national energy transition targets and realizing same. It further finds that Nigeria is yet to begin its journey of energy transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in real terms despite ambitious targets and projections. It links it to structural gaps, policy discordance, unconducive investment climate, questionable commitment of stakeholders to transit to renewable energy and inability to attract robust private investments. It recommends institutional overhaul to reposition the energy sector for real transition to green energy systems.
