For many years now about 50% of Nigeria has been without electricity, leaving 120 million low to middle-income people residing in rural and suburban areas of Nigeria to rely heavily on fossil fuel hydrocarbon-powered generators like Tiger Gen, Mikano, Elepaq, and others to meet their basic electricity and water needs. However, a recent report from the World Health Organization (WHO) has delivered alarming findings, that the fumes emitted by these generators have caused more fatalities than HIV/AIDS and malaria combined. Moreover, the inadequate electricity infrastructure in the country has rendered 63% of the population without clean drinkable water, and 65% of hospitals lacking consistent power, which has led to shortages of oxygen gas and compromised patient care.
