Why this card
Mongabay reports that about 5 million Nigerians gain access to clean cooking every year, though experts say the pace is still too slow, and the story opens with a woman in Uyo lighting kerosene-soaked firewood before dawn. 2033 gives roughly seven years of a faster rollout, a believable timeframe for one city's neighbourhoods to make the switch. The picture keeps the same pre-dawn hour but shows smokeless blue flames and a child reading beside the stove, so the change is visible at a glance.
