Ogun launches Nigeria’s first methane reduction hub

Ogun State inaugurated Nigeria’s first hybrid methane-reduction learning hub in Iworo, Ijebu North-East Local Government Area. Supported by the World Bank and launched under the Nigeria For Women Project Scale-Up, the hub will train women to turn waste into biochar, compost and briquettes, while connecting them to mentoring, business support and markets.

The programme already has 5,890 Women Affinity Groups and more than 199,000 beneficiaries across 11 local government areas in Ogun.
