The Gombe State Commissioner for Water Resources, Town Planning and Environment, Mohammad Doho, has called for the harnessing of the abundant solar energy in the country for cooking purposes.

In an interview in Gombe on Thursday, the commissioner said if properly harnessed, solar energy could serve as an alternative to firewood.

He added that solar would also help in reducing the rampant felling of trees, thereby curtailing deforestation and preserving the environment.

He added that apart from the solar energy, wind in the northern part of the country could also be easily tapped to provide energy that could be used for cooking.

He added that the problem of desert encroachment had been an issue of concern in the north and therefore needed to be addressed squarely. However he said the state government had been taking measures to arrest the situation, adding that one of such measures was the seizure of firewood generated through illegal felling of trees.
