INigeria, izwe elinabantu abaningi kakhulu e-Afrika futhi elingelesithupha emhlabeni jikelele, lizimisele ukukhuthaza ukuhamba kukagesi nokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi. Njengoba inani labantu kulindeleke ukuthi lifinyelele izigidi ezingu-375 ngo-2050, izwe liyasiqaphela isidingo esiphuthumayo sokubhekana nomkhakha walo wezokuthutha, obelokhu ubangela ingxenye enkulu yokukhishwa kwegesi kwe-CO2.
Ngo-2021 kuphela, iNigeria ikhiphe amathani angu-136,986,780 e-carbon, okuqinisa isikhundla sayo njengomkhiqizi ohamba phambili e-Afrika. Ukuze kulwiwe nale nkinga, uhulumeni waseNigeria wethule uhlelo lwakhe lwe-Energy Transition Plan (ETP), oluphakamisa ingxube ye-biofuel engu-10% ngo-2030 futhi luhlose ukufakwa kukagesi okuphelele ezimotweni ngo-2060.
Ukususwa kwezibonelelo zikaphethiloli sekuyinto ebangela ukuthuthukiswa kokuhamba kukagesi eNigeria. Lesi sinyathelo kulindeleke ukuthi sikhuthaze isidingo sezimoto zikagesi futhi sisheshise ukushintshela ekuthuthweni okuqhutshwa ngophethiloli. Ochwepheshe bakholelwa ukuthi izimoto zikagesi, njengoba zingenayo i-carbon ekhishwa yizo, zinesithembiso esikhulu sokwakha amadolobha azinzile nokunciphisa ukungcola.
ILagos, idolobha elinabantu abaningi eNigeria kanye nedolobha elikhulu emhlabeni jikelele, nayo ijoyine umncintiswano wokususa igesi eyingozi. I-Lagos Metropolitan Transport Authority iqalise izinhlelo zokuthuthukisa amabhasi kagesi, ingqalasizinda yokushaja, kanye nezindawo zokunikeza izinsizakalo. UNdunankulu uBabajide Sanwo-Olu usanda kwethula inqwaba yokuqala yamabhasi kagesi, okubonisa ukuzibophezela kwedolobha ekuguqukeni libe yisikhungo sasemadolobheni esihlakaniphile nesizinzile.
Ngaphezu kwezimoto ezinkulu zokuhamba zomphakathi, izimoto zikagesi ezinamasondo amabili, njengezithuthuthu nama-scooter asebenza ngamabhethri e-lithium, ziyahlolwa njengendlela yokubhekana nezinselele zemvelo, ikakhulukazi ukungcola komoya. Lezi zinketho zokuhamba okuncane zingabiwa futhi ziqashwe, okuthuthukisa ukufinyeleleka kwezokuthutha ezihlanzekile.
Amabhizinisi azimele nawo enza intuthuko endaweni yokuhamba ngogesi eNigeria. I-Sterling Bank, isibonelo, isanda kuvula isiteshi sokuqala sokushaja izimoto zikagesi ezweni esifinyeleleka emphakathini eLagos. Lesi sinyathelo, esibizwa ngokuthi i-Qore, sihlose ukuhlinzeka ngezindlela zokuhamba ezingabizi futhi ezihlanzekile ukuze kuthathelwe indawo izimoto zendabuko ezisebenzisa uphethiloli kanye ne-diesel.
Kodwa-ke, kunezinselelo eziningana ezisazokwenzeka ekwamukelweni kabanzi kokuhamba kukagesi eNigeria. Ukuxhaswa ngezimali kusalokhu kuyisithiyo esikhulu, kanye nokuntuleka kolwazi, ukumela, kanye nengqalasizinda yokushaja. Ukunqoba lezi zithiyo kuzodinga uxhaso, ukwanda kokuhlinzekwa, kanye nendawo yebhizinisi ethuthukisiwe. Ukufaka ingqalasizinda yokushaja, ukusungula izikhungo zokuvuselela amabhethri, kanye nokuhlinzeka ngezikhuthazo zokuhamba kukagesi okusekelwe emandleni avuselelekayo nakho kuyizinyathelo ezibalulekile.
Ukuze kukhuthazwe ukukhula kokuhamba ngogesi, iNigeria kumele ibeke phambili ukuthuthukiswa kwengqalasizinda eyanele. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukuhlanganiswa kwezinketho zokuhamba kancane ekwakhiweni kwemigwaqo, njengemizila yama-scooter kanye nezindlela zabahamba ngezinyawo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukusungulwa kwegridi yelanga eya kwezokuthutha ngamandla, iziteshi zokushaja, kanye nezimoto zikagesi zomphakathi kungathuthukisa kakhulu ukushintshela ekuhambeni okusimeme.
Sekukonke, ukuzibophezela kweNigeria ekukhuthazeni ukuhamba kukagesi nokunciphisa ukukhishwa kwegesi kuyancomeka. Izinhloso ezinkulu ze-Energy Transition Plan, kanye nezinhlelo zikahulumeni nezezinkampani ezizimele, zinamandla okuguqula umkhakha wezokuthutha waseNigeria futhi zifake isandla ekuthuthukisweni kwamadolobha okusimeme. Nakuba izinselelo ziqhubeka, ababambiqhaza bahlala benethemba ngekusasa lokuhamba kukagesi eNigeria kanye nomthelela walo omuhle emvelweni.
