The key objectives of the Plan include

- Lifting 100 million Nigerians out of poverty and driving economic growth
- Bringing modern energy services to the full population
- Managing the expected long-term job loss in the oil sector due to the reduced global fossil-fuel demand
- Playing a leadership role for Africa by promoting a fair, inclusive and equitable energy transition in Africa that will include gas as a “transitionary fuel”
- Streamlining existing and new government related energy transition initiatives

The key decarbonization strategy for the cooking sector is a move from traditional firewood, charcoal and kerosene to Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) (until 2030), efficient wood stoves, electrification and biogas (particularly in rural areas). Biogas and electric cookstoves are prioritized for deployment post 2030. The action steps include: 1) Replacement of traditional firewood, kerosene and charcoal by LPG at the rate of up to 2 million new LPG stoves each year. 2) Post 2030 transition to electric cookstove and biogas with the latter mainly in rural homes at the rate of around 1.7 million new electric or biogas stoves per year.
