Fossil fuels, including oil and gas, have been a significant part of Nigeria's economy, with the country being one of the largest oil-producing countries in the world. However, the exploitation and consumption of these fuels have had severe effects on the Nigerian people. The extraction process has caused extensive environmental degradation, including air and water pollution, leading to health problems and loss of livelihoods for local communities. The reliance on fossil fuels has also made the country vulnerable to price fluctuations, economic instability and political instability, leading to conflicts, corruption and underdevelopment. The long-term effects of fossil fuel use on Nigeria's population are clear, with the need for alternative and sustainable energy sources being more urgent than ever
