Announcing the release of the funds, Minister of Environment, Laurientia Mallam, speaking during an inspection visit to the Velodrome at the National Stadium, Abuja, where some of the 750,000 stoves were being assembled, said the stoves will be distributed through the various Ministries of Environment.
According to The Nation, she said the contractor, Messrs Integra Renewable Energy Services Limited has been given N1.3 billion from the N5 billion released by the Federal Government for the purchase of the stoves. President Jonathan is to inaugurate the programme today.
“We started in the northern parts of the country because of the challenges we are facing there with the desert encroaching into the country and people still cut down trees. Now, the President wants it to spread throughout the country and so we have this project. The ministry has received N5 billion so far. You know when N9.2 billion was approved by the Federal Government last year, we told Nigerians that N9.2 billion has been approved by the Federal Government. But so far, N5 billion has been released to the ministry. We have given the contractor 15 per cent, which is N1.3 billion. That is what we have released to the contractor and we still have N3.7 billion in the ministry’s account.”she said

Lollllllll, Jonathan is really an hero, 5billion for kerosene, wheris the kerosene by the way...All Jonathan's cabinet must goto jail...
So that they can cook stones I hope
ok, good , but wait , what about kerosene ???
Are you guys reading this. I absolutely do not think this is what we should be spending on. They think about the availability and cost of Kerosene to the rural populace. Just thinking
Haaaa, See breakdown of funds and she made sure she said they have the 3.7 billion in the ministry's account. Public officers seem to be adjusting to the changing temperature
And will they give them kerosene too?
This isn't what we need.Provide an enabling environment and watch hard working Nigerians create their own jobs,thriving businesses and employ others.
The government keeps making the mistake of providing the fish when they should make provisions for fishing equipments.
Doing the right thing @ the wrong time #onelovefromsnow#
Nigeria is a joke and FG is the comedian. We're complaining about fuel scarcity and FG is releasing funds to buy stoves for people that may not be able to afford kerosine always. Talk about misplaced priority. We need people with wisdom at the helm of affairs, intelligent people don't cut it anymore
You all know this is broad daylight robbery?!! The last hurrah for GEJ and his people. Thunder ga gba bu ndi'a n'ile
Hmmmm, wht a shame dat dis is wht d govt use to divert public funds. When has purchasing stoves for rural people make lives better for them???
When they r a lot of pertinent tins they need like water, electricity, education, and so forth. They r busy fooling wit themsef in d name to divert funds frm d national treasure.
Dis is so touching, and I really feel bad abt dis. When wil our country rise above dis corruption frm those in power??? Wht a shame, and thank goodness GEJ reign is over.
Good info.

And will they give them kerosene too?Stoves!what will they cook in the pots?Their saliva?
This isn't what we need.Provide an enabling environment and watch hard working Nigerians create their own jobs,thriving businesses and employ others.

This is so laughable, cooking stoves for them to cook stones. When they don't have food yet, you're more concerned about providing stoves.
Is that the major problem facing the Nigerian rural women. Anyway Friday is here already.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
another scheme to steal
Haba Stove? not GAS!!!
Stove without kerosene...Madness,smh...hiss
Like seriously?!!!! This must be a joke
Will FG also buy kerosene for them.
Chai! Naija has suffered...another means of embezzlement
Misplaced priorities
Stove without kerosene...Madness,smh...hiss
This is nothing to me, if he give them stove na his pies them go pure inside, failure government just pack your load and leave.
Is dat d solution to d problem?
No ..pls tell me this is a fake news story
That's very good but I know nothing goes for northing.
This one na total waste of money, who told you this women can't afford a stove? after buying the stoves na you go give them kerosene as well? My thought is that as long as the price of kerosene is almost the same as the price of half bottle of "ororo" majority of these women would keep their stoves and patronize firewoods
Great...but they won't distribute anything.
So dis is the next thing to do
Pple that can't afford to buy stoves, so who will buy the kerosene
He shudnt touch dis money again jaws
I'm Sowie to say that Mr President is wicked
Jesus Christ!!! Is Gej insane????
My God ..... good God!!! Stoves ? Amidst these crises ? are stoves the solution to our problem. And someone here would still praise Jonathan.
funny....kerosene nko!? Mariam
Hope dem go dey buy kerosine give them. Bunch of low propaganda ministers... hw distributing stove take elevate the leaving standard 4 nigeria.... we graduate dey wait make dem distribute cars 4 each of us. provide job jare...
5billion 4 stoves?
MMmm stove ??? This Jonathan ehnn !!! So how are they going to use the stove ?? With water or kerosene.
Can't laugh, can the rural afford kerosene with this issue of fuel scarcity. #dunknowFG sev
God! What kind of country is this?
My God! see how this people waste money. Only God knows what would have happened if this current administration had continued. Won't the so called rural women need money for kerosine? When did they even tell them they lacked stoves? Last time they claimed they spent billions buying phones for farmers and now this. My heart loves President Jonathan but this is just terrible. Gen Buhari needs to plug all the leakages and save us money for real capital and human development.
Jonathan's head need to be examined. he cant pay fuel marketers yet he can purchase stoves for 5 billion. He seems not to know his priority
Shame shame shame! On this clueless government 5 billion for stove???? Who told u anyone needs stove? U hv such money n u don't want to pay oil marketers there money so nigerians Wil stop suffering? What a disgrace.
Misplaced priority. You give them stoves ,will u give them free kerosene as well? How many rural dwellers will benefit from the blind program? How about afforestation,providing those poor Nigerians with basic amenities like electricity,pipe borne water etc? Don't just give them stove .Teach them to be self reliant
Nigeria we hail thee. After the stove, which kerosene would they use ooo. Jonathan should just do and go abeg.
They have started "stomach infrastructure" at the dieing hour. In Africa that is probably the best way to go due to extreme poverty however the previous direction they were taking us would have led to over all prosperity of the country but Nigerians grew tired of waiting (understandably)
Lol. This government is still busy plundering this country. So that means each stove costs N6,666 in the market. Waaaoooow! N6,666 for 1 kerosene stove. Like WTF!
waste...
Jonathan is a failure, he should just leave and pack up is witch wife, these people were using wood cos they can not avoid 150 per litter kerosine.can someone help me ask if this stupid president ll provide free kerosine for them or bring it down to 50 per litter. The clueless otuoke man and is criminal in crime just looking way to chop more while other reasonable things ar on ground to tackle. Na GOD go punish them
Stoves!!! na water them go use cook with am????
www.rityonyi.blogspot.com for hottest romantic gist!!
This people just want to clean up before they leave... lol
Kerosene stove @ this stage??? .. federal government must b joking
I see how senseless GEJ administration is where dem go see kerosene run the stove.. Dis Pple sha wan chop our money bfor dem commot ..5billion Naira!! Untop stove haba!!..
FG should know that the real rural women don't use stove. They use firewood. The thing he should do is make kerosine available for them to light their firewood. A litre of kerozine will serve a real rural area woman up to a month on fire wood and lamps. Provide electricty for them. That so called stove will only be hijacked by politician
How can politicians be this daft! about creative initiative but very smart at stealing money through stupid ideas. pchweeeuuu.......goats
Hope you'll also provide the kerosene too, Mr master of wrong and lame policies and decisions
5billion naira!!! The amount is simply outrageous. Atleast 2billion Naira will be shared as part of end of tenure loot.
Hope you'll also provide the kerosene too, Mr master of wrong and lame policies and decisions
Na wa o, last minute tins
Another way to steal. Jonathan is a curse on this nation.
BOLLOCKS!!!!
Is that the problem now. Who wan sell kerosene for them? Last thing for you now is to scrape every money you need. DiariZ God
I hope they will also release money for kerosene...
thieves! FG has started again! who send you message to be allocating unnecessary money to buy stoves? what you did not buy for 6 years, it is now your sick memory wants to be awake all in the name of just wanting to loot more money as much as u can b4 u vacate the office. Your days are numbered. Just get out on may 29 and the next trip you shd be thinking of is JAIL. To cough out all the money uve looted. OLE.
After providing stove hope they wld provide kerosene or @ least make it available and affordable to them

***CURRENTLY IN JUPITER***
linda publish my post joor.
They must be very mad. Na mumu them think say we be. Or why would you use 5 billion naira to buy ordinary stove? The person that approved the money also is thief, ole... But why do these act like fools dont they think?
Im soo very sick of our useless leaders whose primary ambition is only their pocket. Another 5 Billion naira that can be put to good use, especially when the country is suffering from fuel scarcity.
God will punish them, and may He raise up a standard against all of them that are only seeking for their personal gain alone.
Hmmmm....d kain allocations dis FG dey do sometimes....always creating avenues to embezzle....soon dem go allocate anoda 2bn for safety matches too.
LIES - THIEVES
OK...
THATS NICE
Welcome development I hope is be used for what is been signed for
5billion for stove? Our Nigerian stove or what the Americans refer to as stove? Chai! Another avenue for funds diversion. Thank God it's almost over. Sai Buhari!!!
Some of those stoves will end up in the market besides, they will have to keep sending kerosine to the beneficiaries plus educate their husbands esp the ones that are of the opinion the food prepared with firewood is sweeter.
God wil punish u people...una hear...
can some body stop ds man before he finish all d money.....were is may 29......pls come in time.
Last minute stealing, Abi the stove the uses urine, who go give them kerosine,, GMB you must probe this deal
Dis man is insane. Did he also provide kerosene 4 dem. Wat a country.
5 billion for stoves??? Gej & your administration, it will never be well with you all... Bunch of thieves... Why does the money have to be released at the dying minute??? May 29, pls where art thou ??? Enough of all this nonsense... Mtcheeeeew
ahhhhhhh how much is stove,1k,patapata 2k,hmmmmnnnn there is God oo,if Jonathan is trying to waste money before handover,y not pay ur useless subsidy...anoufia!
Dafaq is this da ish on ground...
i dont usually post but i had to after seeing this, OMG, 5 BILLION for purchase of stove,
How realistic is this, this administration in up to finish all the funds before the tenure runs out.
Even after this tragic experience with petrol, this is the next news they can come up with, i am totally disappointed. Finished.
This gudluck ehn
Wat a Waste.
5billion for Stove
Den aw much for Unemployment?
Thank God In 2 days u cease to bcome our Foolish and wasteful president.
GEJ, thieves u and your cabinet pls move over.. your last minute loot... clueless administration..
What can we call this?? It's just a way of looting funds..... In all the problems we are facing in this country na to dey buy stove be the next.... Olohun magbawa lowo Awon amunisin yii ke..... If you buy them a stove ao will they continue fueling it when the can't feed themselves three times in a day..... Aiye yin tii rust (Nigerian govt)
FG hope you'll supply free Kerosene too and insure their houses against 'stove explosion'. Instead of thinking about electrical cooker, u are buying stoves. Stupid thinking people!
Yes, Tresh said it.
WTF!!!!!!!!
The problem with this story is the government can champion a national project, for gifted craftsmen to design household stoves it will require less funds.We need to start making what we consume and not spend billions importing these goods to enrich foreign industries.
5biillion naira for stoves!! Really??? Other pressing life threatening issues and FG is about stoves RN? Bullocks!! That's just what this is.
Will he also give them Kerosene
And how many million stoves are we talking abt? Na who go give them kero?
Mstchew, Rubbish. 2 more days to go.
Its' a pity! But why? When people are crying of hunger you are giving them stove instead. Anyway, it will be over one day!
People are crying of hunger, you are giving them stove. For what? May God help us from this kind of government!
eyaaaaaaa. nice strategy
Which kind country dey born person put like dis...bikonu! Which one is buying stoves with such huge amount? Which I know 70% of the money will be silenced into some people's pocket. How will that help in eradicating poverty? Somebody should help me explain better please. I suggest the money should have used as grants for some youths who will in turn buy those stoves for their mothers and as well have something meaningful doing to help their families. Just my opinion please!
Got no words on this desperate last minute wack move. Friday is here
This is the most ridiculous thing ever, couldn't that 5 billion be put into something way more important that could benefit every1 in more ways than ever like say Power generation.. This hardship is too much abeg... You shall all answer to God one day very soon.
Shoro niyen...is dt d next thing?
Hahahhahaha hahahhahaha hahahhahaha or lighter
Yet clueless president
I just calculated a stove to be #6,667. This. People deserve to rot in jail. Useless and selfish administration
Dis is national insult, and disgrace to our economy as a whole when we r in serious needs of so many tins lik water, electricity, social amenities dat r lacking in d rural areas they r looting our treasury wit buying of stoves.
God wil surely bring to judgement all dis our day time robbery politicians dat loots our money, and divert it to personal pockets. I don't even trust GEJ dat signed such money or approved it. Its sounds so senseless to me.
Ka! So painful.
Sometimes,i wonder if dese old men called leaders are sensible,or dey are just been wicked to the core,how can u buy stove for rural ares when there is no kerosine to use?y r we so wicked to ourselves?y?
Dis is y in Nigeria d rich get richer while d poor get poorer. Wht a shame to Nigeria govt.
I totally agree with you. What is the use of stove without kerosene biko?
Wht dis am forced to say dat GEJ administration is indeed clueless.
I regret ever supported him for re-election, and I thank God he didn't win. God b praised, and blessed forever.
Haaa thieves! Last minutes embezzlement God will punish them this one will surely hang in throat
Some stoves use gas(methane) u illiterate. Gas cookers with Bunsen burners also use natural gas(methane mostly). Read books, literatures , journals online, etc and educate urself.
I agree with u
This is another way of sharing whatever remains in the gov't coffers. What a shame!
Will the stoves work without fuel (kerosine) put in them? This is probably the last evidence that he, GEJ doesn't know what he is doing.
We have been saved from the hands of PDP, at least for now.
God saves Nigeria!!!
I hope say lighter follow for the purchase, and the next news na say kerosene now na 50 naira per litre. God punish dis outgoing govt. No light, our power grid is failing as a result of low supply of gas, yet dem get mind release dis kind money to buy stove. Who tell dem say dese women no get stove. My grand mama friend stove dey rust for lack of usage, Mgbo piafukwa unu ncha nti. Buhari, biko, book for space for kiri kiri to jail these people, bcos, even if u no wan prosecute, d heat go too much for u. All of dem, starting from Jona, to Diezanni and Okonjo must visit Kiri Kiri. Period.
You think a poor man gives a shit about the environment when they are starving??! If you are so concerned about the environment, go and clean up the spills in the ND and sanction the companies that have been negligent! Fix power so we don't have to keep polluting the air airh generator fumes! Dumb ass! I guess you needed to settle the owner of integra with 'kontrat' before you bounced. Get out of here Bd take that ball of wickedness you call a wife. Don't even think about 2019! Good riddance to bad rubbish!
Instead of them to use the N5b to make electricity constant or progress into using gas. They are still encouraging the use of stove in this morden times. Backward people. Stmcheew
So we are about 180million pple in nigeria and they released 5billion naira to buy stove that nobody asked them for who and who exactly? Who is fooling who? All this thieves will die a vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry vry painful death
Who are they fooling? They will only spend N100m on the stoves and pocket or share the remaining N4.9b. The stoves will obviously not get to everybody. Maybe they want to use the purchase of the stoves to cover-up for some of the money they have eaten. They purposely made the elections to take place earlier that May 29th so that they will have time to cover up all their mess. And also to punish the disloyal people that did not vote for them. Who are they deceiving??? Nigerians don wise up oh. You are no longer dealing with illiterates.
**i laff in swahili...... they no see camp gas buy?
Stove? Definition of rural women? It was mobile phones for farmers,now stove. Next will be wigs for city women and clippers for the guys. Hope all govt officials that approved the purchase know they are in trouble already? Cluelessness at its peak. Minister is still explaining logic. Curbing deforestation. S/he needs to go back to JSS for agric classes.
I won't argue this. All those who have grandma and pa in villages, wait till 3 months and ask your people if truly they see anything like stove around their home. Am sure only 5% of the rural women will receive that so called stove.
are the stoves made of gold? 5Billion, really?
This is continuous display of their insensitivity. Why buying stove for people u know kerosine is unavailable the poor people?
Why buying stove with that huge amount of money while we can add the money to generate green energy? And the will come out to say they are educated.! Wtf?
Some things are not just supposed to heard in the corridors of Power. They major on the minor and minor on the major.
»»»Be the change you desire!
and you can't pay staff salaries....?
Jonathan, Okonjo - Iweala and Dieziani need to be locked up for unprecedented corruption and total wrecking of the Nigerian economy. The keys should then be thrown into the Lagoon. The sort of stealing that has been perpetuated by this regime is mind boggling. Clueless bunch of thieves. They just steal with impunity using any guise whatsoever.
Another just got paid
True talk. A good person might not be the right person for the job. Someone needs to tell Jonathan to stop squandering Nigeria' funds on futile efforts at the 11th hour..he's about ready to vacate the office so all the last minute spending should stop....and please we all need to keep praying for Nigeria. Nigeria will survive and thrive again, IJMN amen
Lol @ bestie
9.2billion naira for a stove, how much is the cost of stove at the market? chai see as oga Jona is wasting our money on unnecessary things, are they providing them with kerosene too? am sure the remaining money will be syphon by the ministry.
Well said @ anonymous
HUMBLE EVE
Issokay, I hope one person won't corner the funds. Linda take note!
Jesus..5billion?..for wah..they have stolen our money oooo...hey.
Last minute stealing
Lol,they mean north pole.
i Think the necessities thing here is for the Government to work on the control price of Kerosine, not the purchase of the Stove.
Get it straight they are looking for all possible ways to loot out money before they finally leave on Friday., 5billion for stove? Jonathan has failed Nigerians.., he probably would use 10billion to buy pure water for pure water sellers tomorrow., The more we look, the less we see.,Oga Jona pack and go!!!!
Royal whatever!, the blind supporter of GEJ has finally seen the light or is it a mistake?.
only stove, they will still buy kerosine....lol...FG una no serious
I neva belive dis royal whatever can use his/her eye n brain to see n Thk respectively n not d vis visa..
Why didn't he just provide good water source if he really wanted to help or just educate them. This is just a stupid excuse to rob Nigerians
Chai!! GOD dey... We will need to start exporting prisoners soon......am sure these stoves are imported at the cost of establishing d FACTORIES here..... Na north mk em strt frm ooo, else dem yansh go open finally..
Ok
See live stealing......Imagine a contract of N1.3billion to supply cooking stove. Another good scamming by Jona govt. Deaaris god oooooooooo
This is madness.
This is complete madness
Misplaced Priority. I guess there is too much money in Nigeria. What is the criteria for who receives the stove? What a Stupid and corrupt government. Thank God these thieves were not voted in again. Nonsense!!!!
Are these people not tired of stealing our money. Want to suck us dry before they leave.....God punish satan!!!!
Where are the jonathan supporters u guys no talk again bah, hero my foot, 5bn for stove nonsense, it's obvious that gej is a dummy he doesn't know his left frm his right nonsense clueless president, the worst thing that has happened to Nigeria is u gej
5billion naira...smh. Money that could have been used to revitalise atleast one refinery to optimal capacity with change or fixed our power problem for good. Now you are buying stoves...soon it will be 10 billion to buy kerosene and 15 billion for pot, and they 20 billion for rice. or is it only during election rice is shared. FG knows our basic problems; fix them and you won't need to buy stove for that many people cos people will be able to afford it and more. See how fuel scarcity, created by a select few, and inadequate power has brought a whole nation to a grind.
You are releasing 5 billion for stove so that we will now spend the rest of our hungry day waiting in line at the filling station to get kerosene for the stove? Arrant Nonsense
Stove ke? Really? Nawao! My disappointment be increasing...
